These images capture different expressions of two mice interacting through social facial touch. Chari et al. developed a novel method for quantifying social facial responses with measures including squinting, pupil dilation, and whisker protraction. They validated it using two autism mouse models. For more information, see the article by Chari et al. (pages 7158–7174 ). Cover image: Carlos Portera-Cailliau.
