Social preference index, time spent in the social zone, and total distance moved by 21 dpf zebrafish during baseline and social stimulus phases. Social preference (a) was not altered in mecp2 (n = 77) or mecp2^−/− (n = 37) larvae compared to mecp2^+/+ (n = 23) zebrafish. Additionally, sibling zebrafish of all three genotypes spent similar length of time in the social zone (b) and swam similar distances (c) during the baseline and stimulus phases of the experiment. ****p < 0.0001 ***p < 0.001 **p < 0.01 and *p < 0.05.
