Dorsal raphe nucleus to anterior cingulate cortex 5-HTergic neural circuit modulates consolation and sociability

In the manuscript submitted to e-Life (Dorsal raphe nucleus to anterior cingulate cortex 5-HTergic neural circuit modulates consolation and sociability), all data are represented as the mean ± SE. All data were assessed for normality using a one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and the Levene's test was used to confirm homogeneity of variance. Comparisons between two groups were performed by unpaired or paired t tests. Comparisons among three or more groups of different animals were performed using one-way ANOVA. Two-way ANOVAs or two-way repeated measures ANOVAs were used to compare multiple groups under multiple testing conditions when appropriate. Post hoc comparisons were conducted using Tukey. To confirm the significance and calculate the effect size, Bayesian t test (paired or unpaired) and Bayesian ANOVA were conducted for all the comparisons using default priors. For more detailed information about the Bayesian test, please refer to Dr. Keysers's work (Keysers et al., 2020). The data were analyzed using JASP 14.0 (https://jasp-stats.org/) and are presented as the mean ± SE. The significant level was set at P < 0.05. The detailed analysis method in each figure and the statistical quantifications are presented in Supplementary 2.
