    "To study how aggression, fighting, and winning change the brain, scientists set up a [url]tournament of mice fights[/url]. They watched as the lab rodents took a break from their hum-drum existence and battled it out (however, the researchers broke the first rule of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight_club"]Fight Club[/ame] by publishing a [url]paper about their findings[/url] [abstract]). They found clear evidence of the 'winner effect,' in which a mouse that has just won a fight maintains elevated levels of testosterone and aggression, and is therefore more likely to win the next bout. Interestingly, the winner effect was strongest in mice that were fighting in their own cages — i.e., those that had home-field advantage."

    Once a mouse had notched three consecutive victories, they studied its brains for any chemical changes

    I wonder what happens if mouse A beats mouse B but doesn't get his block of cheese or whatever award comes after. AKA, feels cheated out of recognition for victory.

    Or if it shares half a cheese with the other mouse in a draw.

    I am tired of the arguments about how they are going to split the cheese. I say they should just fight.
