Nest building task was performed at P40 as previously described [24]. Briefly, test mice were singly housed, and a new nestlet introduced to the cage 1 h before the active phase (dark phase). The next morning, the remaining compacted cotton from the nestlet was weighed (untorn nestlet), and the nests scored on a rating scale of 1–5 in a blinded fashion. A well-structured nest is scored 5 and failure to disturb the nestlet is scored 1.
