Letting a Typical Mouse Judge Whether Mouse Social Interactions are Atypical
Published February 21, 2013
in Autism Research
This interesting preliminary study examined whether typical mice could recognize atypical social behavior in ASD mouse models. Wild-type mouse ‘judges’ preferred to be in chambers with other typical mice rather than socially atypical mice, suggesting that typical mice can distinguish mice displaying autism-like behavior from controls.
