Schematic top view of the experimental setup. One central cage is connected via Plexiglas tubes with four satellite cages. Satellite cages are divided by a metal grid (dotted lines) to prevent mating of the focal mouse (with access to the central cage and the smaller inner parts of the satellite cages) and the four satellite mice (with access only to the larger outer part of their respective satellite cage). Each tube is fitted with a double RFID ring antennae system, all connected to a PC to record the movements of the the focal mouse, which is equipped with an RFID tag. Food, water and shelter were provided for all mice, but are not shown in the figure for clarity
