4 weeks of post-weaning social isolation increased aggressive grooming of a novel same-sex conspecific in male and female rats. Treatment with the MAGL inhibitor MJN110 eliminated this increase in aggressive grooming in both males and females, without reducing non-aggressive social behavior. Activation of the medial prefrontal cortex was increased by social interaction but was blunted by MJN110 only in females.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
