Three-chambered testing apparatus for social interaction: mice from all groups except the Pb exposed group exhibited a normal preference to spend significantly more time with a novel stranger mouse rather than with a novel object. Data were analyzed with a 2-tailed paired -test for each treatment group. The preference was statistically significant in all groups ( range), but Pb treated group (). denotes statistical significance.
