Territorial male mice are aggressive toward intruding males, but socially bonded males are not. Through manipulation of activity in a subset of neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus, Yang et al. (2017) report that social and physiological factors non-linearly interact to control male aggression.
领地性雄性老鼠会对入侵的雄性表现出攻击性,但已建立社会关系的雄性则不会。通过对腹内侧下丘脑一小部分神经元活动的操控,Yang 等人(2017 年)报告称,社会和生理因素以非线性方式相互作用来控制雄性的攻击性。
