Extended Data Fig. 1

a, Heat maps showed the time distribution of control, susceptible or resilient mice during target and no target stage of social behavior test. b, CSDS-exposed mice were separated into susceptible or resilient groups according to the social interaction ratio (n = 14 mice, Control vs Susceptible, P < 0.0001). c, Time in the interaction zone in the absence or presence of social target (n = 14 mice, Control vs Susceptible, P < 0.0001). d, Sucrose preference of adult control, susceptible or resilient mice after CSDS (n = 14 mice, Control vs Susceptible, P < 0.0001). e, Body weight change ratio of control and CSDS-exposed mice before and after CSDS (n = 13 mice). f, The amount of food consumption during 2 hours and 12 hours after CSDS (n = 11, 17 mice). g, Schematic of CUMS procedure and behavioral tests. h, Depressive-like behaviors in CUMS mice, as measured by the sucrose preference in SPT (left) and the immobility time in FST (right), n = 9 mice. For SPT, P < 0.0001; For FST, P < 0.0001. i, Schematic of CRS procedure and behavioral tests. j, Depressive-like behaviors in CRS mice, as measured by the sucrose preference in SPT (left) and the immobility time in FST (right), n = 8, 8 mice. For SPT, P = 0.0004; For FST, P = 0.0051. k, The levels of blood ammonia in the mice exposed to CUMS (left) and CRS (right). For CUMS, n = 7, 8 mice, P = 0.0105; For CRS, n = 11, 12 mice, P = 0.0173. Data are the mean ± s.e.m., *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001. Statistical differences were determined by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple-comparisons test (b-d) and two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test (e, f, h, j, k). The statistical details are provided in Supplementary Table 1.
