Nonaggressive, social triggers do not modulate subsequent interactions with females.

<p>(A) Schematic of nonaggressive, social sequences. Sequences consisted of investigative male interactions followed by male–female social interactions. (B) The number of male–female interactions after investigating or being investigated. Lines connect co-recorded mice. Black lines and white boxes show the medians and interquartile ranges (25%–75%). Wilcoxon signed rank test, W = 39, <i>p</i> = 0.62. (C) The latency between investigating or being investigated and social interactions. Wilcoxon signed rank test, W = 51, <i>p</i> < 0.005. (D) The duration of social interactions following investigation-triggered sequences. Wilcoxon signed rank test, W = 54, <i>p</i> = 0.07. (E) Performance of decoders when predicting the behavioral state of the male social partner in post-aggression social interactions. Black lines and white boxes show the means and standard deviations. The red line denotes chance levels. Each condition: 1-sided z-test, <i>n</i> = 1,000 iterations. Observed: z = 0.47, <i>p</i> = 0.39; size-matched: z = 0.44, <i>p</i> = 0.33; randomized: z = −0.37, <i>p</i> = 0.36.
