• Pten regulates neuronal arborization and social interaction in mice. (2006, positive): “Social preference for novelty was performed as described (Moy et al., 2004), except room and door dimensions were different (15 3 90 3 18.5 cm divided into three rooms of 15 3 29 cm separated by dividers with a central 3.8 3 3.8 cm door), and video tracking software from Noldus (Ethovision 2.3.19)…”
• Behavioural phenotyping assays for mouse models of autism (2010, methodology): “We developed an automated three-chambered social approach task, which scores time spent in a side chamber with a novel mouse versus time spent in a side chamber with a non-social novel object, an inverted wire pencil cu”
• Targeting the Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis: Prebiotics Have Anxiolytic and Antidepressant-like Effects and Reverse the Impact of Chronic Stress in Mice. (2017, neutral): “Sociability was assessed by the three-chambered social approach task (28,29) and the resident-intruder test (30) with minor modifications (see Supplement).”
• Automated Three-Chambered Social Approach Task for Mice (2011, background): “We have obtained similar results in mice bred in-house and tested between 8 weeks and 6 months of age (Moy et al., 2004).”
• Gut instincts: microbiota as a key regulator of brain development, ageing and neurodegeneration (2017, methodology): “Our group examined the behaviour of germ-free mice in the three-chamber test, a well-validated assay to assess social behaviour (Moy et al. 2004), where a germ-free mouse was placed in the centre chamber with a familiar mouse in one chamber and a novel mouse in the other chamber (Desbonnet et al.”
• Assessing Social Behavior Phenotypes in Adult Zebrafish: Shoaling, Social Preference, and Mirror Biting Tests (2012, background): “Based on a similar rodent paradigm [13, 42, 43], it assesses zebrafish sociability by observing the interactions between several fish, and assessing zebrafish preference for conspecifics.”
• Automated apparatus for quantitation of social approach behaviors in mice (2004, methodology): “Test subjects for the subsequent inbred strain analysis were six-month-old males previously run through a battery of behavioral assays, including the sociability and social novelty preference assays previously conducted at six weeks of age ( Moy et al. 2004 ).”
• Autism‐like behavioral phenotypes in BTBR T+tf/J mice (2008, background): “Although previous experiments found similar social approach by subjects when the strangers were of the same or different strains, and of the same or different sex (Moy et al. 2004; Nadler et al. 2004), the present experiments used strangers of the same strain and sex for internal consistency.”
