TLDR
Changes in the amount and kind of social behavior were observed in male hamsters following amygdalectomy and both preoperatively dominant and submissive animals retained their social status after surgery.About:

Brain Mechanisms for Offense, Defense and Submission
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary attempt is made to analyze the intraspecific aggressive behavior of mammals in terms of specific neural circuitry, and it is suggested that motivating stimuli activate pathways that converge upon sets of homogeneous neurons, called motivational mechanisms, whose activity determines the motivational state of the animal.

Amygdala Inputs to the Ventral Hippocampus Bidirectionally Modulate Social Behavior
Ada C. Felix-Ortiz,Kay M. Tye +1 more
TL;DR: BLA inputs to the vHPC are capable of modulating social behaviors in a bidirectional manner, indicating that the amygdala has long been linked to social interaction and is capable of connecting to downstream regions in noncompetitive social behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amygdala and ventral hippocampus contribute differentially to mechanisms of fear and anxiety.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the effects of ventral hippocampal lesions are not simply due to direct or indirect effects on the amygdala, and that these 2 brain areas contribute differentially to a brain system associated with the processing of fearful and/or anxiogenic stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mating and agonistic behavior produce different patterns of Fos immunolabeling in the male Syrian hamster brain
TL;DR: Results of this study demonstrate both similarities and differences in brain activation patterns following these two social behaviors and suggest that mating and agonistic behavior activate distinct neural circuits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neural Connections of the Anterior Hypothalamus and Agonistic Behavior in Golden Hamsters
TL;DR: Increased density of Fos-immunoreactivity was found in experimental animals within the medial amygdaloid nucleus, ventrolateral hypothalamus, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis and dorsolateral part of the midbrain central gray, suggesting that these areas are integrated in a neural network centered on the anterior hypothalamus and involved in the consummation of offensive aggression.

Book
Nonparametric statistics for the behavioral sciences
TL;DR: This is the revision of the classic text in the field, adding two new chapters and thoroughly updating all others as discussed by the authors, and the original structure is retained, and the book continues to serve as a combined text/reference.

TL;DR: A number of general concepts are discussed, for example the relation of convulsions to flight behaviour, the reduction of incoming aggressive stimuli in submissive postures, "Cut-Off", and the inhibition of biting in the more social species.
