Translational models of adaptive and excessive fighting: an emerging role for neural circuits in pathological aggression [version 1; peer review: 3 approved]

Aggression is a phylogenetically stable behavior, and attacks on conspecifics are observed in most animal species. In this review, we discuss translational models as they relate to pathological forms of offensive aggression and the brain mechanisms that underlie these behaviors. Quantifiable escalat...
