Protocol Steps
Reciprocal Social Interaction Assessment
Mild social impairments were detected, primarily in juveniles during reciprocal interactions
Note: Assessment conducted in juvenile mice with more pronounced deficits than in adults

“Mild social impairments were detected, primarily in juveniles during reciprocal interactions”
Three-Chambered Social Task
All genotypes displayed normal adult sociability on the three-chambered task
Note: Conducted in adult mice; no significant differences detected between genotypes
