Targeted manipulation of serotonergic neurotransmission affects the escalation of aggression in adult male Drosophila melanogaster.

PloS one - 24 May 2010

Alekseyenko Olga V, Lee Carol, Kravitz Edward A

Abstract excerpt

Dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5HT) are reported to serve important roles in aggression in a wide variety of animals. Previous investigations of 5HT function in adult Drosophila behavior have relied on pharmacological manipulations, or on combinations of genetic tools that simultaneously target both DA and 5HT neurons. Here, we generated a transgenic line that allows selective, direct manipulation of serotonergic...
