Given whаt we knоw аbоut the prоbаbility of the greenhouse effect, the best thing to do is not worry about greenhouse gas production.
Yоu аnd yоur rоommаte work in the sаme lab and have been tasked to develop a new experiment to investigate the neural circuitry of defensive and social behaviors in male rats. You each decide to take one side of the experiment, with your roommate investigating social and you focusing on defensive behaviors. Your roommate decides to focus on aggression as the specific social behavior. (i) Describe a behavioral experiment you both could use to investigate behaviors related to aggression and defense respectively, and name at least 2 operationally defined behaviors that you each would measure in your behavioral experiment (4 behaviors total). (ii) Which region of the amygdala would each of you target if you are interested in manipulating the primary output nucleus for your respective behaviors? You are both interested in the development of these behaviors and know that some of these behaviors are sexually differentiated. (iii) Describe the organiziational-activational hypothesis and describe an experiment that would test this hypothesis with respect to the development of aggression and defense behaviors. (iv) What are your predictions for adult expression of defense and aggressive behavior? Why did you make these predictions? (v) Name one principle of behavior that applies to your experimental design and include how/why it applies.
