Abstract:
:The present study investigated the hypothesis that social isolation increases aggression by increasing the number of V1a vasopressin receptors in the anterior hypothalamus (AH). Male hamsters were randomly assigned to a group that was allowed to interact with a small nonaggressive hamster three times each week for 3 weeks (socially experienced) or to a group that did not interact socially with other hamsters (social isolates). On the final day of the experiment, hamsters in both groups were placed in a neutral arena with a small, nonaggressive intruder, and agonistic behavior was scored for 10 min. In social isolates, the duration of aggression and the number of attacks were significantly greater than in socially experienced hamsters. There were no significant between-group differences in the latency to the onset of aggression, the number of flank marks or in the duration of defensive/submissive, social or nonsocial behavior. The amount of V1a receptor binding was significantly greater in the AH, the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus and the lateral hypothalamus in the social isolates than in the socially experienced hamsters. The amount of V1a receptor binding was significantly greater in the central amygdala of socially experienced hamsters than in socially isolated hamsters. Serum concentrations of testosterone were significantly higher in the socially experienced hamsters than in social isolates. These data support the hypothesis that social isolation increases aggression by increasing the number of V1a vasopressin receptors in the AH.
