Extended Data Fig. 2

a, Altruistic responses in males (n = 8) and females (n = 8) across five days of testing in the SDM (two-way RM ANOVA, gender, F(1, 14)=5.90, p = 0.0292; time (days 1-5), F(4, 56)=4.59, p = 0.0028). b, Number of tested mice grouped by gender and by percentage of altruistic responses. c, Number of nose pokes responses in male mice tested in the conditions with recipient (n = 8) and no recipient (n = 6) on day five of the SDM (two-way ANOVA, group (with recipient, no recipient) x response (nose-poke 1, nose-poke 2), F(1, 24)=6.2, p = 0.0199). d, Number of nose pokes responses in female mice tested in the conditions with recipient (n = 8) and no recipient (n = 6) (two-way ANOVA, group (with recipient, no recipient), F(1, 12)=4.1, p = 0.0630). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, n.s., not significant. Values are expressed as mean ± s.e.m.
