A Representative traces showing the movements of control (unexposed) and VPA-exposed mice during the social interaction three-chamber test. B Time spent sniffing a cage containing a strange mouse or an empty cage by control and VPA-exposed mice. C Bar graph showing the preference index based on sniffing time, as shown in B. D Pooled data showing the time spent in the chamber with the strange mouse or an empty cage by control and VPA-exposed mice. E Bar graph showing the preference index based on time spent in the chamber containing the strange mouse or an empty cage, as shown in D. n = 10 mice in each group. *P < 0.05, strange mouse versus empty; #P < 0.05, VPA versus control.
