Spontaneous" intermale aggression was investigated in seven inbred strains of mice. A positive interstrain correlation and cross-correlation was found for two indices of fighting intensity, ie, accumulated attacking time and number of attacks. The strain aggressiveness level (percent of mice fightin

The relationship between the genetically defined intensity of intermale aggression and the activity of brain tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) has been studied in inbred mice. No association between the enzyme activity and the percentage of aggressive mice (reflecting the predisposition to aggressive rea
Male mice of the C57BL/6 strain show a significant increase in aggression toward a nonaggressive male conspecific following 72 hr of individual housing. However, this increase was no longer evident following 2 weeks of individual housing. When housed with a female, C57BL/6 mice show significantly mo
