Aggressive experience results in a shift in spine morphology across the ventral and dorsal striatum. Aggressive experience significantly decreased the number of long thin spines (**p<0.01) while significantly increasing the number of mushroom spines (*p<0.05) within (A) the nucleus accumbens core (NAcCore) of female hamsters. Aggressive experience significantly increased the number of mushroom spines in the (B) nucleus accumbens shell (NAcShell, ***p<0.001) and (C) caudate (CPu, *p<0.05).
