What is Aggression & Fighting Detection?

Aggressive behavior in rodents — including attack biting, lunging, chasing, and tail rattling — is studied primarily through the resident-intruder paradigm. Attack latency and frequency quantify territorial aggression, while the social defeat model uses repeated subordination to induce depression-like behavior in intruder animals.

ConductVision is developing automated aggression and fighting detection using pose estimation and supervised classification. Contact our team to discuss early access or custom classifier training for your research.

Research Applications

Resident-Intruder Paradigm

  • Territorial aggression — attack latency and frequency
  • Isolation-induced aggression — single-housing duration effects
  • Strain comparison — aggressive phenotype profiling

Social Defeat Stress

  • Chronic social defeat — depression-like behavior induction
  • Susceptibility vs resilience — social interaction ratio
  • Social defeat and drug self-administration interaction

Pharmacology

  • Serenic drug screening — aggression suppression without sedation
  • SSRI effects on impulsive aggression
  • Oxytocin and vasopressin — pro-social vs aggressive modulation
