Fig. 3From: Role of Calcr expressing neurons in the medial amygdala in social contact among femalesTargeted Calcr knockdown in the MeApd facilitates behavioral responses to the reunion. A Number of various behaviors per min observed under social reunion for 30 min (Cont shRNA: n = 15 mice and Calcr shRNA: n = 12 mice). B Time course of the percentage of social contacts (Cont shRNA: n = 15 mice and Calcr shRNA: n = 12 mice). (C) Total percentage of social contacts over 30 min (Cont shRNA: n = 15 mice and Calcr shRNA: n = 12 mice). D Raster plots showing the effects of Calcr knockdown in the MeApd on contact occurrence. Time bins 15 s (A), 5 min (B–D). Asterisks denote significant differences between the two groups (A, C: Welch’s unpaired t-test, B: 2-way repeated measure ANOVA tests followed by Sidak's post hoc tests; *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). Graphs represent mean ± SEM. See Additional file 1 for detailed staticsBack to article page
