Differential serotonergic modulation of two types of aggression in weakly electric fish

Differential serotonergic modulation of two types of aggression in weakly electric fish

Agonistic aggression has provided an excellent framework to study how conserved circuits and neurochemical mediators control species-specific and context-dependent behavior. The principal inhibitory control upon aggression is serotonin (5-HT) dependent, and the activation of 5-HT1A receptors is invo...
