Alcohol Increases Aggression in Flies

2019-06-27

Abstract excerpt

Alcohol-induced aggression is a destructive and widespread phenomenon, but we understand very little about the mechanisms that produce this behavior. We found that two different alcohol exposures potentiate aggression in male flies. (1) A pharmacologically relevant dose of alcohol increases aggression and decreases a goal-directed behavior in male flies. (2) In addition, the odor of alcohol itself enhances interma...
