The time course of postpartum aggression was examined in primiparous Long-Evans rats (N= 77). Individually housed lactating females (n= 7 per condition) were randomly assigned to 1 of 11 conditions (day of testing), with each subject tested once between Day 0 (the day of parturition) through Day 20 postpartum. Duration of aggression was highest and latency to attack was shortest on Day 0, with all dams attacking an unfamiliar intruding male during 10-min tests. The proportion of dams engaging in attack remained high through the end of the first week of lactation, but decreased sharply during the third week postpartum. The findings indicate that the probability and intensity of maternal aggression is closely associated with the time since parturition at which tests are given.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
