Effects of mild restraint stress on maternal aggression in CRF2 KO and WT mice with a baseline of aggression ≥ 10 seconds. Bars represent mean conditions (non-restraint) and stress conditions (15 min restraint) within each genotype. A) Mean latency to first attack was significantly delayed by restraint stress in CRF2 KO dams relative to WT dams (ANOVA on Ranks). B) Mean number of attacks was not significantly altered by restraint stress in either CRF2 KO dams relative to WT dams (ANOVA). C) Mean total time aggressive was significantly decreased by restraint stress in CRF2 KO dams relative to WT dams (ANOVA). * p<0.05
