Mouse behaviors toward an unconscious peer. Mice exhibit a stereotypic set of behaviors when encountering an unconscious social partner, reminiscent of human emergency responses. The behavioral reactions escalate from sniffing and grooming to intense stimulatory actions such as mouth biting and tongue pulling during extended periods of unresponsiveness.
