Abstract excerpt

Currently, 36 genes have been reported to affect offensive behavior in male mice. Potentially, these genes could be used to analyze the mechanism of this behavior. But there are methodological flies in this conceptual ointment. The studies with these genes varied in the genetic background, the maternal environments, the postweaning housing, the strain or type of opponent, and the type of test. The effects of each...
