Septal, medial accumbens, medial hypothalamic, or sham lesions were each made in female and male hooded rats. Behavioral testing of defensiveness toward the experimenter was done blind at 6, 9, and 12 days postoperatively by a person who was unaware of the purpose of the experiment. There were no quantitative differences in the defensiveness displayed by male and female rats: both sexes displayed the increase in defensiveness characteristic of each lesion. It is argued that the neural systems modulating defensiveness may be similar in male and female rats and that this is related to evidence from human experiments indicating that comparable levels of defensive aggression are emitted by males and females under controlled experimental conditions.
分别对雌性和雄性带帽大鼠进行了隔膜、伏隔核内侧、下丘脑内侧损伤或假损伤。术后第6、9和12天，由一名不知道实验目的的人员对大鼠对实验者的防御行为进行盲测。雄性和雌性大鼠表现出的防御行为没有数量上的差异：两性都表现出每种损伤所特有的防御行为增加。有人认为，调节防御行为的神经系统在雄性和雌性大鼠中可能相似，这与人体实验的证据有关，该证据表明在受控实验条件下，雄性和雌性发出的防御性攻击水平相当。
