title: ["Sensitive periods" in the systemogenesis of intraspecific aggression in rats].
abstract: As a result of experiments conducted on male outbred white rats, approximate limits were established of two sensitive periods for the formation of intraspecies aggression of rats under the influence of contacts with the animals of the same age: sensitive period from 12th to 21st postnatal day for changing from playing behaviour into the aggressive one; and 40-60 days for differentiation of the aggressivity against the males and females. It was shown, that despite considerable change in the spectrum of aggressive reactions of early isolated rats towards intruders and low effect of these reactions, judging by response behaviour of intruders, these reactions were based on the emotionally-motivational state, typical for the formed aggressive behaviour. It was also found, that disturbances of the aggression formation in rats isolated in early age, were caused by deprivation of contacts with rats of the same age and not by general informational impoverishment of the environment where rat pups were bred.
