The role of the serotonergic system in foot shock-induced behavior in mice

In a foot shock-induced fighting (FSIF) test, serotonergic and antiserotonergic agents were examined. Stimulation of the brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurons with different serotonergic agents, such as l-tryptophan, 5-hydroxytryptophan, imipramine, fluoxetine, 5-methoxy-tryptamine, quipazine, and fenfluramine, showed the inhibiting role of the 5-HT system in FSIF. At the same time, following the results obtained in FSIF tests and locomotor activity tests, it can be inferred that the 5-HT antagonists used (methysergide, cyproheptadine, metergoline, cinnarizine, and pizotifen) do not act specifically in this model of aggression. P-Chlorophenylalanine effects on mice in FSIF also seem to be partly due to catecholaminolytic action.

(+/-)N-n-Propyl-norapomorphine (NPA), a potent agonist of brain dopamine receptors, influences aggressive behavior, but the type of influence depends on the experimental conditions. In rats, NPA increases aggression elicited by electrical foot shock, but decreases predatory aggression against turtles as well as isolation-induced aggression in male mice. NPA proves more potent than apomorphine in both the foot shock and predatory test. A per se ineffective dose of haloperidol (0.05 mg/kg-1 IP) antagonizes NPA in the rat foot shock test as well as in the isolated male mouse test. The relevance of stereotyped movements for NPA influence on aggressive behavior is briefly discussed.

Methylxanthine-facilitated shock-induced aggression in the rat

et al. 1978

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The methylxanthines caffeine and aminophylline, in daily doses of 100 mg/kg, facilitated shock-induced aggression in the rat. Under the limited parameters of this study, there was no induction of mouse-killing behavior or alteration of jump thresholds. Additional studies showed the optimal dose and time course for the facilitation of shock-induced aggression by caffeine to be 50 mg/kg administered i.p. 4 h prior to testing. Facilitation of a central adrenergic system may be the mechanism of action.
