Extended Data Fig. 1: Correlation between prosocial and parenting behaviors.
From: Shared neural substrates of prosocial and parenting behaviours
a–c, f–h, Correlation between the duration of pup grooming behavior and the increase in allogrooming toward stressed adult conspecifics (a, f), the duration of baseline adult investigation (b, g), and the duration of baseline self-grooming (c, h) in females (a-c) and males (f-h). We note that Fig. 1f-h and Extended Data Fig. 1f-h appear to be similar but present different data: in Fig. 1f-h, we present the total duration of parenting behaviors on the Y-axis, and in Extended Data Fig. 1f-h, we present the total duration of pup grooming on the Y-axis. Given that parenting behaviors in virgin males predominantly consist of pup grooming (99.4%), the differences between the figures appear minimal. d, e, i, j, Correlation between the duration of parenting behaviors (d, i) or pup grooming behavior (e, j) and the duration of baseline allogrooming toward unstressed adult conspecifics in females (d, e) and males (i, j). k, l, Example ethograms of different behaviors displayed by mother (k) or father (l) mice during interactions with stressed adults (left) or pups (right). m–r, Correlation between the duration of all parenting behaviors (m-o) or pup grooming behavior (p-r) and the increase in allogrooming toward stressed adult conspecifics (m, p), the duration of baseline adult investigation (n, q), and the duration of baseline self-grooming (o, r) in mothers and fathers. Opposite-sex mates of the parental animals were used as demonstrators. In (m), both sexes showed a positive correlation between these behaviors: R² = 0.3605, p = 0.0139 for mothers, and R² = 0.2728, p = 0.0458 for fathers. s–v, No correlation between the duration of allogrooming toward stressed adult conspecifics and the duration of self-grooming in the prosocial interactions in females (s), males (t), mothers (u) and fathers (v). w, x, Duration of allogrooming (w) and investigation (x) displayed by subject animals during interaction with stressed adults in darkness or under light illumination. y, Number of USV syllables produced by the subjects during interactions with unstressed partners, stressed partners, and pups. (w-y), The center line in the boxplots indicates the median, the box limits indicate the upper and lower quartiles, and the whiskers indicate the range from the minimum to the maximum value. (a-j, m-v), Linear regression, the linear regression lines (solid lines) and 95% confidence intervals (shaded areas) are shown. (w, x), Two-sided Wilcoxon signed-rank test. (y), Kruskal-Wallis test with post hoc Dunn’s multiple comparisons test. n = 12 mice in (a-e, s), 14 mice in (f-j, t), 31 mice in (m-r), 16 mice in (u), 15 mice in (v), 8 mice in (w, x), 6 mice in each group in (y). See Supplementary Table 1 for details of statistical analyses. *P < 0.05. **P < 0.01. ns, not significant.
