Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Intraventricular injections of rats with 20 μliter of brain-specific proteins of the basic S-100 fraction in a concentration of 3 mg/ml (but not 1 mg/ml) significantly facilitates formation of predatory aggression of animals (killing of mice induced by food deprivation and social isolation).

  2. 2.

    This effect is evoked only by the whole S-100 molecule, but not its fragments.

  3. 3.

    Administration of the minor S-100 fraction, ablumin, and total rat brain proteins did not exert an influence on predatory aggression of animals.
