Studies Contrasting Drug Effects on Reproduction Induced Agonistic Behaviour in Male and Female Mice

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Topics in the Neurosciences ((TNSC,volume 7))

Abstract

Numerous research papers have followed the introduction of the concept of the “animal model” into psychiatric medicine. Experimental animals may be used to investigate the psychopathology of a behavioural disorder, if one realizes the significance and limitations of the findings. This principle holds true for research on aggression.
