Fly Fighting: Octopamine Modulates Aggression
The genetics and neurobiology of Drosophila aggression are still poorly understood. A new study using an automated method to analyze one component of male fly aggression has shown that the biogenic amine octopamine plays a role in the modulation of aggressive behavior.

متن کاملOctopamine in Male Aggression of Drosophila
BACKGROUND In mammals and humans, noradrenaline is a key modulator of aggression. Octopamine, a closely related biogenic amine, has been proposed to have a similar function in arthropods. However, the effect of octopamine on aggressive behavior is little understood. RESULTS An automated video analysis of aggression in male Drosophila has been developed, rendering aggression accessible to high...
متن کاملOctopamine modulates honey bee dance behavior.
Honey bees communicate the location and desirability of valuable forage sites to their nestmates through an elaborate, symbolic "dance language." The dance language is a uniquely complex communication system in invertebrates, and the neural mechanisms that generate dances are largely unknown. Here we show that treatments with controlled doses of the biogenic amine neuromodulator octopamine sele...
متن کاملOctopamine and experience-dependent modulation of aggression in crickets.
Intraspecific aggression is influenced in numerous animal groups by the previous behavioral experiences of the competitors. The underlying mechanisms are, however, mostly obscure. We present evidence that a form of experience-dependent plasticity of aggression in crickets is mediated by octopamine, the invertebrate counterpart of noradrenaline. In a forced-fight paradigm, the experience of flyi...
