Cholinergic Mechanisms in Aggressive Behavior

摘要: It has been suggested (Scott, 1958; Valzelli, 1967) that aggression is not a unitary concept. This premise based on the fact stimulus situations eliciting are so diverse and hence there must be several types of behavior. followed from this would variety physiological substrates involved in mediation these different types. Only recently, however, any systematic attempt made to list indicate basis for classification. Moyer (1968), if were forms aggression, then progress understanding general phenomenon behavior could only when various carefully operationally defined. The definitional phase by research which experimental manipulations applied subjects who tested define classes aggression. A given manipulation may very well facilitate one kind suppress another, have no effect third (Moyer, 1968).
