Nine cats, each with two hypothalamic electrodes in sites which when stimulated produced either quiet attack or attack accompanied by certain forms of vocalization, were trained to escape from tail shock by jumping onto a stool. They were then tested for transfer of the escape response to brain stimulation. Stimulation of the seven sites that yielded quiet biting attack did not elicit the learned response of jumping onto the stool. Stimulation of eight of the 11 sites that yielded attack accompanied by vocalization did elicit the learned response. It was concluded that attack behavior elicited by brain stimulation should not be considered a special case of the response to aversive stimulation, but that attack and response to aversive stimulation involve independent but overlapping systems.
九只猫，每只猫的下丘脑有两个电极，电极所在位置受到刺激时会引发安静攻击或伴有特定形式发声的攻击，训练它们通过跳到凳子上以逃避尾部电击。然后测试它们将逃避反应转移到脑部刺激的能力。刺激产生安静撕咬攻击的七个位点并未引发跳到凳子上的习得反应。刺激产生伴有发声攻击的11个位点中的8个确实引发了习得反应。得出的结论是，脑部刺激引发的攻击行为不应被视为对厌恶刺激反应的特殊情况，而是攻击和对厌恶刺激的反应涉及独立但重叠的系统。
