Older rats fought more frequently, longer, and more intensely than younger rats regardless of strain. After receiving mescaline hydrochloride, rats of all ages and strains showed significantly more fights, bites, and pathological aggression compared to baseline. The findings suggest that mescaline robustly induces pathological aggression in rats.
