Fig. 1. Changes in social response in 10 dpf zebrafish after embryonic exposure to HgCl2 or VPA. (A) Heatmap of swimming tracking for a group of 10 larvae for 6 min recording in a 9 cm diameter petri dish. Red color indicates highly active exploration regions of group behavior. (B) Nearest neighbor distance was significantly increased in HgCl2–exposed zebrafish, while it was reduced in VPA |
exposed zebrafish compared to control groups. (C) Number of social contacts between individual animals in HgCl2 −or VPA−exposed zebrafish were significantly reduced. (D) Abnormal circling behavior was observed in both HgCl2 − and VPA−exposed larvae (mean ± SEM: *p < 0.005, n = 30 for each group, 10 animals in a group, repeated 3 times).
