Abstract
⺠We tested effects of chronic, high-dose testosterone on aggressive motivation and impulsivity in male rats. ⺠Testosterone did not enhance motivation for aggression, but did increase fighting. ⺠Testosterone reduced impulsivity in a delay-discounting test for food reward. ⺠Testosterone selectively reduced levels of tyrosine hydroxylase in caudate-putamen.
