Adaptive Aspects of Hormonal Correlates of Attack and Defence in Laboratory Mice: A Study in Ethobiology

摘要: Publisher Summary One should discuss hormonal involvement in agonistic responses (i.e. the full range of conflict behavior ranging from overt attack to submission and fleeing) rather than limit oneself “aggression” or “submission”. Conflict lower organisms is properly viewed as a continuum which propensities flee/submit are intimately mixed. The modern view that hormones not simple behavioral “triggers”. Until comparatively recently, however, simplistic endocrine control tended dominate clinical writing. This held was largely male characteristic depended on androgen production aggressor resulted increased glucocorticoid secretion subject attack. Complex interrelationships evident between wide spectrum interacting diverse categories. may also comment it often difficult clearly evaluate hormone/aggression correlations.
