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 کاملPaternal aggression in a biparental mouse: parallels with maternal aggression.
Environmental and social factors have important effects on aggressive behaviors. We examined the effect of reproductive experience on aggression in a biparental species of mouse, Peromyscus californicus. Estrogens are important in mediating aggressive behavior so we also examined estrogen receptor expression and c-fos for insights into possible mechanisms of regulation. Parental males were sign...
متن کاملExogenous neurotensin modulates sperm function in Japanese Black cattle
Recently, the conception rates after artificial insemination have been pointed out to decline continuously. To overcome this problem, the control of frozen and thawed sperm quality is required. However, the mechanism of bovine sperm functional regulation is still largely unknown. In mammals, the ejaculated sperm are capable of showing fertilizing ability during migration in the female reproduct...
متن کاملMaternal aggression: new insights from Egr-1.
Lactating mice display fierce aggression towards novel, male mice. This study compares neuronal activity in the brains of aggression-tested (T) and -untested (U) mice using early growth response factor 1 (Egr-1; also known as Krox 24, NGFI-A, Zif268, Tis8, and ZENK) as a measure of neuronal activity. Animals were sampled 90 min after either a sham or real 7-min test with a male intruder, after ...
متن کاملMaternal cocaine use and mother-toddler aggression.
This study examined the direct and indirect associations between maternal cocaine use during pregnancy and mother-toddler aggression in an interactive context at 2 years of child age. We hypothesized that in addition to direct effects of cocaine exposure on maternal and child aggression, the association between maternal cocaine use and mother-toddler aggression may be indirect via higher matern...
