title: Influence of isolation and training on fighting in mice with olfactory bulb lesions.
abstract: Isolation-induced aggressive mice receiving total bilateral bulbectomy failed to fight after chronic training. Animals receiving sub-total olfactory bulbectomy were capable of being trained to attack but the latency to attack was increased. When mice were bulbectomized before being isolated they were incapable of attack regardless of training or completeness of the lesion. These results indicated that isolation influences aggressive behavior in bilaterally bulbectomized mice.
