From: Reciprocal cortico-amygdala connections regulate prosocial and selfish choices in mice

Extended Data Fig. 4

Altruistic responses (orange) reinforced on FR2, FR4 and FR6 and selfish responses (blue) reinforced on FR1 expressed as percentage of the total in males (light blue, (n = 7) and females (red, n = 4) mice and responses on the preferred nose poke (NP1, dark grey) reinforced on FR2, FR4 and FR6 and responses on the non-preferred nose poke (NP2, light grey) reinforced on FR1 in mice tested without recipient (n = 6) (FR2: two-way RM ANOVA, group (with recipient males, with recipient females, no recipient) x response (FR1, FR2), F(2, 13)=3.5, p = 0.05. FR4: two-way RM ANOVA, group (with recipient males, with recipient females, no recipient) x response (FR1, FR2), F(2, 13)=5.1, p = 0.0192; FR6. two-way RM ANOVA, group (with recipient males, with recipient females, no recipient) x response (FR1, FR2), F(2, 13)=6.6, p = 0.0103. FR8: two-tailed unpaired t-test, t = 8.32, d.f.=6, p = 0.0002). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.005 n.s., not significant. Values are expressed as mean ± s.e.m.
