Juvenile NL3R451C mice display abnormal social interaction in a free interaction arena. a A trend for the juvenile NL3R451C mice to spend less time interacting with novel genotype-matched (NL3/NL3; n = 10) mice compared to mixed genotype pairs (WT/NL3; n = 14) and WT mice (WT/WT; n = 15) was seen. b The NL3R451C mice engage in more episodes of social interactions and c cover a greater distance in the arena during the assay compared to the WT mice. Values are displayed as mean ± SEM. Asterisks represent a statistically significant difference between the indicated groups. ***p < 0.001
