• in the 3-chamber test, mice show impaired novelty preference, with less obvious preference for stranger 2 versus stranger 1, however no effect on sociability is seen
• zinc supplementation ameliorates the social deficits in the reciprocal social interaction test, with mice spending significantly longer interacting with the unfamiliar mouse
• however, mice behave normally in the open field and elevated plus maze
