Adult male staggerer mice reared under standard conditions display no sexual behaviour. When maintained for a time with normal female mice however 5% of the mutant males were able to copulate. We hypothesized that the effects of such social experience would be revealed most clearly by changes in the pattern of male behaviour. Two groups of mutant males were subjected to different social experience after weaning. One group was maintained with normal female mice and the other with staggerer mutant females. There were differences between the two groups in the frequency, duration and temporal organization of interactions between mutant males and normal females. Social experience with normal females modified male behaviour, producing greater synchrony with female behaviour and a reduction in stereotypic behaviours such as scratching.
在标准条件下饲养的成年雄性蹒跚小鼠没有性行为。然而，当与正常雌性小鼠饲养一段时间后，5%的突变雄性能够交配。我们推测，这种社交经历的影响将通过雄性行为模式的变化最清楚地显现出来。两组突变雄性在断奶后经历了不同的社交体验。一组与正常雌性小鼠饲养在一起，另一组与蹒跚突变雌性小鼠饲养在一起。在突变雄性与正常雌性之间互动的频率、持续时间和时间组织方面，两组存在差异。与正常雌性的社交经历改变了雄性行为，使其与雌性行为更加同步，并减少了诸如抓挠等刻板行为。
