Understanding the Neuroscience of Mounting Behavior
1:14:15 - 1:22:21 (08:05)
This episode discusses studies on the neural control of mounting behavior in animals and how it can differ based on sex and context.

Mounting behavior in male mice can have two different meanings based on the context in which it's observed.

Summary
Mounting behavior in male mice can have two different meanings based on the context in which it's observed. While mounting can be related to sexual behavior in one context, it can also be related to dominance behavior in another context, as suggested by the presence or absence of ultrasonic vocalizations.

In observing a sweet female pit bull mix, it is evident that one can not assume that male dogs are more aggressive than female dogs, as there is a dominance hierarchy that crosses over between males and females in a litter.

Summary
In observing a sweet female pit bull mix, it is evident that one can not assume that male dogs are more aggressive than female dogs, as there is a dominance hierarchy that crosses over between males and females in a litter. It is difficult and dangerous to infer an animal's state, intent or emotion from its behavior as the same behavior can mean different things depending on context or interaction with the animal.
