a Schematic of cannula placement (red dots; n = 6 representative mice). b, c Odor-guided behavior of mice during test days 1–3. b Digging behavior at the odor location. c Digging behavior outside the odor location. d Odor-investigating behavior of ad libitum-fed mice under the bedding-free condition. e Odor-retraction behavior of ad libitum-fed mice under the bedding-free condition. f Ratio of residence time on the odor side (zone 1) versus the opposite side (zone 2). White columns, vehicle-injected mice; black columns, antagonist-injected mice. Average ± SD, each dot represents one mouse (n = 6 mice for both groups). ns, not significant (t-test).
