3G ), with VS showing significantly stronger responses in expert mice (naïve: 1.022% ± 0.366, expert: 1.701% ± 0.599; t (9) = 3.337, P = 0.009, Cohen’s d = 1.06), DLS demonstrating marginally significant preferential responses in experts (naïve: 0.546% ± 0.279; expert: 0.939% ± 0.328; two-tailed paired Student’s t- test: t (9) = 2.906, P = 0.017, Cohen’s d = 0.92), and DMS exhibiting stable responses during learning (naïve: 0.504% ± 0.255; expert: 0.625% ± 0.395; t (9) = 1.414, P = 0.191, Cohen’s d = 0.45), suggesting that the latter is less affected by association related to the olfactory stimulus as these associations developed during learning (statistical thresholds were adjusted for multiple comparisons using Bonferroni-adjusted alpha levels of 0.0167 per test).
