Abstract excerpt
The interline differences in the manifestation of aggression evoked by stimulation was studied in mice of eight inbred lines, and the role of different types of dopamine (DA) receptors in its manifestation was investigated. Aggression was assessed in a test involving the effect of a weak electrical stimulation through the floor of the cage. A significant relationship to the animals' genotype was demonstrated, and...
