Displaced aggression, such as lashing out at an unrelated individual after a frustrating experience, is a well-documented phenomenon in both humans and animals. A study conducted by researchers at the ...

Researchers tracked the behavior of mice using machine learning to understand how they handle aggressive behavior from other mice. The researchers' findings show that male mice deescalate aggressive ...

Neural activity in the cortical amygdala determines whether mice engage in aggressive or pro-social behavior, according to a new study. By performing a network analysis on whole-brain activity of male ...

A new study led by Prof. Omry Koren and graduate student Atara Uzan-Yuzari from the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine at Bar-Ilan University has unveiled significant evidence connecting the gut microbiome ...

A research group led by Joshua Neunuebel at the University of Delaware, USA, tracked the behavior of mice using machine learning to understand how they handle aggressive behavior from other mice. The ...

Male mice use females as "decoys" to distract aggressive rivals and avoid conflict, suggests new research. The males will run over to female mice when threatened - using a “bait-and-switch” tactic to ...

Researchers led by Dr. Claire Foldi at Monash University have discovered that psilocybin, the psychoactive compound found in ...

Artistic rendering of mouse bait-and-switch. Male mice, subjected to agonistic interactions, escape and avoid conflict by exploiting nearby females to divert the attention of the pursuing aggressor.
