Prenatal stress reduces intermale aggression in mice

Prenatal stress (heat and restraint) significantly reduced intermale aggression (percentage of animals fighting and the number of attacks and lunges) in Rockland-Swiss Albino mice. These data, in combination with previous reports showing deficits in male copulatory responses, suggest that a wide arr...
