Abstract

The effects of enucleation (blinding) on the territorial aggression of male Syrian golden hamsters were studied. While enucleated hamsters were as likely as controls to attack, their duration of attacking was much greater than that of controls. Thus, in contrast to the initiation of aggression in hamsters, which is mainly under olfactory control, the termination of aggression is partially regulated by vision.
