Genetic determination of aggressive behavior and brain cyclic AMP.
Inbred mouse strains exhibit differences in brain cyclic AMP concentrations. In two mouse strains, we have shown that both the tendency for aggressive attack and high brain cyclic AMP content are inherited as recessive traits and that these traits maintain a close association in segregating generations.
