The aim of the present investigation was to examine the effect of injection of baclofen (GABAB agonist) and CGP35348 (GABAB antagonist) in the Central Amygdaloid (CA) and Medial Amygdaloid (MA) nuclei of the amygdala on offensive aggression behavior in the animal model. Sixty six adult male rats weighing 180-200g were used. Cannula was implanted into each ac and or am nuclei of amygdala using stereotaxic method. Each animal received 100 electrical shocks every session. After electrical shock, another rat was placed in the electroshock chamber and the animals were observed for various aggressive behaviors. Data were analyzed by Student’s T test and one way ANOVA and Tukey’s test as the post-hoc test. Significant level was considered to be p
