In this article, the authors note that errors were inadvertently introduced in Additional file 1, owing to a lapse in attention during final figure preparation prior to submission. Duplicated images were erroneously presented in Figure S3 (an LS section from control mice under naive condition and an LS section from Shank2^∆6–7^-KO mice under social cooperation test condition). In addition, thorough reanalysis of all cropped images of the whole-brain sections from Control, Shank2^∆6–7^-KO, and Shank3^∆9^-KO mice revealed that the representative images in Figure S3 (NaCC section from Shank2^∆6–7^-KO mice under social dominance test conditions) and Figure S4 (NaCC section from Control and Shank3^∆9^-KO mice under social dominance test conditions) were incorrect. These errors partly stemmed from incorrect cropping of the intended brain regions from a single whole-brain section. Note that, in some cases, the presentation of overlapping representative images denoted as different brain subregions is intentional. This is because these images were of the same whole-brain section and the subregions were anatomically adjacent to each other. These corrections do not alter the results or conclusions reported in the paper.

Additional file 1 has been replaced by the corrected version in the original article, and the corrected version of Addition file 1 is attached to this Correction.
