Social behavior of mice chronically treated with corticosterone. a–e Social interaction test: a number of contacts, b duration of contacts (s), c duration of active contacts (s), d mean duration per contact (s), and e total distance traveled (cm). f, g Three-chamber sociability test: f time spent in chambers (s) and g time spent around the cage (s). h, i Three-chamber social novelty preference test: h time spent in the chamber (s) and i time spent around the cage (s). j–m Home cage social interaction test: j number of particles (two particles indicated that the mice were not in contact with each other, and one particle indicated contact between the two mice) in 1-h bin for 7 days, k number of particles averaged over the last 3 days, l activity level in 1-h bin for 7 days, and m activity level averaged over the last 3 days. Values are means ± SEM. *p < 0.05. **p < 0.01. ***p < 0.001
