Abstract: | "In aggressive and submissive mice well-experienced in victories and defeats, the reaction was studied to another male in neighbour section of 'home' cage divided by transparent partition with holes. The activity of submissive mice near the partition was significantly lower than that of control animals without experience of agonist contacts or aggressive. Submissive mice did not react to the appearance of unknown smell in the neighbouring section while the animals of other studied groups sharply increased their activity near the partition. It is suggested that long experience of defeat leads to inhibition of perception of specific zoosocial (olfactory) stimuli triggering manifestation of aggressive reaction to another individual" |
