Regional serotonin and dopamine activity
We were interested in comparing the effect of distinctive attack and defeat experience on regional monoamine turnover and on d-amphetamine (AMPH) sensitivity. Male mice were randomly assigned to groups that received zero, one, or ten defeat experiences or that attacked an intruder zero, one, or ten times. Twenty-four hours after the last attack or defeat, mice were administered one of four AMPH doses (0, 0.1, 1.0, or 10.0 mg/kg i.p.) and tested i…
Implants of testosterone into the septal forebrain activate aggressive behavior in male mice
Thstosterone has a modulatory role in the control of aggressive behavior in male mice. To determine where within the forebrain testosterone might be exerting this modulation, we implanted testosterone into discrete brain regions in castrated male mice and then assessed their level of aggression. Male mice were castrated, and 3 weeks later a 23-gauge guide cannula was implanted into the medial preoptic area (MPOA), septum, or caudate nucleus. Twic…
Maternal aggression in mice and rats towards male and female conspecifics
Although postpartum aggression is primarily studied in laboratory mice and rats, it is unclear how the two species compare in terms of the factors associated with peak levels of aggressive behavior. Using the same experimental protocol, we assessed the relative effect of intruder sex and time since parturition on the frequency of maternal aggression in Long-Evans rats and CFW mice. Females were studied for 2 consecutive cycles of pregnancy and la…
Habituation of aggressive behavior in mice
The decline of aggression as a result of repeated episodes of fighting may represent a habituation phenomenon. The frequency of biting and sideways threat by male mice toward conspecific intruders declined over ten 5-min confrontations. Aggression returned to about 50% of original levels when a new intruder was introduced. Variations in length or frequency of confrontation indicated that the rate of decline of attack bites and sideways threats de…
Separate neural sites for d-amphetamine suppression of mouse killing and feeding behavior in rats
The present study was conducted to investigate several possible neural sites for d-amphetamine's effect on mouse killing and feeding behaviors. d-Amphetamine (10, 20, and 30 μg) injected into each lateral ventricle, suppressed mouse kiling, food, and water intake in a dose-dependent manner. Bilateral adminstration of d-amphetamine (20 μg) into the central amygdaloid nucleus abolished mouse killing behavior but did not affect feeding and drinking.…
