Abstract
Administration of testosterone propionate to female mice on the day of birth resulted in increased fighting after administration of testosterone during adulthood. This fighting, comparable to fighting among normal male mice, suggests that early androgenic stimulation organizes neural structures mediating aggression in the mouse.Keywords
