Aggressive behaviour is a key symptom of conduct
disorder (CD). Therefore, animal models of aggression
could provide more knowledge about the neural substrates
underlying CD and could provide new insights in possible
treatments to treat or prevent this disorder. We first
extensively phenotyped the BALB/cJ mice (as an
aggressive model) in terms of aggression, anxiety,
impulsivity, compulsivity and attention. Then, a
multiparametric MR experiment including DTI, ASL, and
MRS was performed. Our findings suggest that
pathological aggression observed in the BALB/cJ mice is
likely related to structural and neurochemical changes
leading to inattention and anxiety.
