Our biology, our behaviour and our pathologies are unique to us. In
our desire to understand, reduce solitary confinement one source of
information is the many reports of social isolation of other social
mammals, especially primates. A behavioural study was conducted in
the department of pharmacology at Indira Gandhi Medical College,
Shimla in Himachalpradesh province in India using white albino
mice. Different behavioural parameters were observed by using open
field, tail suspension, tests for aggressive behaviour and social
interactions and the effect of isolation was studied. The results were
evaluated and the standard statistics were applied. The said study was
done to establish facts that isolation itself impairs social behaviour
and can lead to alcohol dependence as well as related drug
dependence.
