Inversion of aggressive behaviour into a submissive one led to immunosuppression in C57BL/6J mice as well as in those mice which did not change their behaviour, whereas inversion of submissive behaviour into aggressive one resulted in immunostimulation. A possibility to influence immune response changing the brain neurochemical pattern by reversing behaviour under conditions of a social conflict, is discussed.
