Top: Z -score activity (normalized to ISI period) of excited cells in vS1 (RS only), tSTR, and BLA during social touch and object touch, for voluntary (left) and forced presentations (right). Bottom: Corresponding modulation ( MI social - MI object ) by social vs. object touch of cells in vS1, tSTR, and BLA of WT and Fmr1 KO mice * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 for unpaired two-tailed non-parametric MannWhitney or parametric t -test. For WT excited cells, vS1 n = 227/220, tSTR n = 99/116, and BLA n = 81/79. For Fmr1 KO excited cells, vS1 n = 307/331, tSTR n = 178/202, and BLA n = 105/128.
