Abstract
Aggression in animals can be induced and/or modified by diverse methods such as simple isolation-frustration (Elul, 1966; Yeu, Stanger & Millman, 1959), frontal lobectomy (Karli, 1955), destruction of olfactory bulbs (Vergnes & Karli, 1965), olfactory lesions and destruction of prepyriform cortex (Karli & Vergnes, 1963), lesions of septal nuclei which produce septal irritability (Brady & Nauta, 1953), electric foot shock (Miller, 1948; O’Kelly & Steckle, 1938; Ulrich, Hutchinson & Azrin, 1965), and by several pharmacologic agents (Brown, 1960; Everett, 1961; Reinhard, Plekss & Scudi, 1960).
