This study was undertaken to assess sex differences in the vicarious learning magnitude by exploiting an aversive paradigm in adult mice. Mouse observers were individually subjected to an observational compartment next to the training compartment wherein three demonstrators received 1)a daily 30-min presentation of vanilla odors for 3 consecutive days; or 2)3-days of 30-min vanilla odors contingent on the delivery of 15 pseudo-randomly-arranged footshocks (0.5 mA, 2 s in duration per shock). Vanilla odors-induced freezing response (FR) was used to indicate observers’ vicarious learning magnitu
