Octopamine in male aggression of Drosophila.

Current biology : CB - 12 Feb 2008

Abstract excerpt

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-throughput...
