Dynamic Interactions of Behavior and Amine Neurochemistry in Acquisition and Maintenance of Social Rank in Crayfish

摘要: This review summarizes a set of experimental approaches with which we explore fighting behavior in crayfish and the importance aminergic systems its control. Our results illustrate that agonistic crustaceans can be characterized within quantitative framework, different types behavioral plasticity aggressive are need physiological explanation, pharmacological intervention involving serotonergic produces characteristic changes fighting. Moreover, attempt to identify neurochemistry during acquisition social status. Many studies presented here summarize ongoing work. Nonetheless, date complement extend previous detailed physiological, morphological biochemical exploring roles amines aggression.
