Assessment for social behavior. a-j Social interaction test in a novel environment. Total duration of contacts (a, f), the number of contacts (b, g), total duration of active contacts (c, h), mean duration of each contact (d, i), and total distance traveled (e, j) were determined. k-n Social interaction test in a home cage. Means of the numbers of the particles formed with the mice tested were determined (k, m). The activity levels were calculated (l, n). o, p Crawley’s sociability and social novelty preference test. Time spent around the indicated cages was determined. In 1st, a wire cage keeping a stranger mouse (Stranger 1 side) and an empty wire cage (Empty side) were used. In 2nd, a cage keeping a familiar mouse (Stranger 1 side) and a cage keeping another stranger mouse (Stranger 2 side) were used. p values for genotype effects are shown on the top of each bargraph
