Study identifies neurons involved in control of aggression
Researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have made a new discovery about the biological mechanism underlying aggressive behavior.
Researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have made a new discovery about the biological mechanism underlying aggressive behavior.
In a study of mice, they identified a group of brain cells that can be linked to aggressive behavior and manipulated to control the aggression response.
As reported in Nature Neuroscience, the team was able to control aggressive behaviour in the animals by inhibiting or activating the neurons.
Like all behaviour, aggression originates in the brain, but the neurons involved and how their properties contribute to the expression of aggression is poorly understood.
