Dynamic neuromodulation of aggression by vasotocin: influence of social context and social phenotype in territorial songbirds.

Biology letters - 23 Aug 2009

Goodson James L, Kabelik David, Schrock Sara E

Abstract excerpt

The homologous neuropeptides vasotocin (VT) and vasopressin (VP) influence agonistic behaviours across many taxa, but peptide-behaviour relationships are complex and purportedly species-specific. Putative species-specific effects in songbirds are confounded with context, however, such that territorial species have been tested only in resident-intruder paradigms and gregarious species have been tested only in a...
