From: Mice in social conflict show rule-observance behavior enhancing long-term benefit

Development of behavioral patterns during conflict resolution test under the WBS conditions. a Pixel-based representation of the reward zone occupation rate by the two competing mice through the 20 sessions for each of the 19 pairs: Deep green, 100% by MR; deep red, 100% by ML; mixed colors representing different proportions by the two. ZL, left reward zone, ZR, right reward zone. b Pictorial presentation of the position of the mouse at given time points. Each circle (green, MR; red, ML) indicates the position of a mouse at the designated time point, trial initiation, reward initiation and reward termination. Left panel shows summation of the first quarter, from session 1 to 5. Right panel, the last quarter, from session 16–20. The ‡ eighth pair on the Fig. 3a is used as the representative sample here. c The mean value of the differential occupation of each reward zone by the two mice throughout the sessions. For ZL, number of occupation by ML—number of occupation by MR. For ZR, in the opposite direction
