    Electric shock reliably triggers attack behavior in squirrel monkeys. The intensity of the shock directly correlates with the duration and likelihood of aggressive responses toward various targets.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Animal Behavior

    Background:

    • Aggression can be studied through induced behaviors.
    • Understanding the triggers of attack behavior is crucial in ethology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the elicitation of attack behavior in squirrel monkeys using electric shock.
    • To quantify the relationship between shock intensity and attack responses.

    Main Methods:

    • Squirrel monkeys were subjected to externally applied electric shock.
    • Attack behavior was observed towards conspecifics, rodents, and inanimate objects.
    • A novel quantification method for attack behavior against inanimate objects was developed.

    Main Results:

    • Electric shock successfully elicited attack behavior.

  • Attack responses were directed towards a range of targets, including other monkeys, rats, mice, and inanimate objects.
  • Quantification revealed a direct relationship between shock intensity and the duration/probability of attack.

    • Conclusions:

    • Electric shock is a potent elicitor of attack behavior in squirrel monkeys.
    • The developed method provides a reliable way to measure shock-induced aggression.
    • Shock intensity is a key determinant of the magnitude of elicited attack behavior.
