Abstract
Buspirone administered in the morning or evening completely suppressed the interspecies aggressiveness of isolated rats expressed as attacks on and bites of mice; muricidal behavior (killing of mice) was blocked by the drug only if it was administered in the evening. Electrolytic destruction of serotonin-containing structures of the midbrain levels the phase dependence of the antimuricidal properties of buspirone.
