To further test this hypothesis, the effects of pentylenetetrazol on different forms of defensive behaviour were examined in male intruder rats confronted with offensive residents. Administration of pentylenetetrazol (10 and 20 mg/kg, IP) increased submissive postures such as immobility and on-the-back, but reduced self-defensive postures. Other active behaviours were not reduced, thus excluding a non-specific behavioural suppression. These results suggest that self-defensive and submissive behaviours can be dissociated and that anxiogenic compounds are more likely to increase submissive behaviours than self-defensive ones.
