Apomorphine (1 mg/kg i.v.) has been found to induce aggressive behaviour in rats. Having studied the influence of several factors viz. auditory stimulus, drug dosage, age, sex, strain, and cage size, an experimental design was adopted. Using this design three populations were distinguished among 152

✦ Synopsis
The apomorphine-induced aggression response of isolated rats was examined. The development of aggressive behaviour in adult rats was enhanced after isolation in cages with wire-netting and especially in cages isolated in opacified Makrolon boxes compared with aggregated rats. Young rats kept isolated for 2 months immediately after weaning showed an enhancement only if isolated in wire-netting cages. Rats kept in groups for one month after their isolation still showed an enhancement of aggression, although it was somewhat reduced.
