Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for the involvement of central serotonin in mechanism of domestication of silver foxes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the brain serotonergic system is involved in the mechanism of domestication converting wild aggressive/defensive animals into tame ones.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between Tph2 gene polymorphism, brain tryptophan hydroxylase activity and aggressiveness in mouse strains.

TL;DR: The results support a link between the C1473G polymorphism in Tph2 gene, trypthophan hydroxylase activity and intensity of intermale aggression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Male Fischer 344 and Lewis rats display differences in locomotor reactivity, but not in anxiety-related behaviours: relationship with the hippocampal serotonergic system.

TL;DR: This study suggests that both strains display high levels of anxiety but markedly differ in their locomotor activities, whether the latter strain difference is due to alterations in the HPA axis and/or the central serotonergic systems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Automated measurement of spatial preference in the open field test with transmitted lighting

TL;DR: Transmitted (inverted) lighting significantly ameliorated the contrast between an animal and arena and allowed to track white animals with similar efficacy as colored ones and probability as a measure of preference of selected region was mathematically proved and experimentally verified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative RT-PCR assay of 5-HT1A and 5-HT2A serotonin receptor mRNAs using genomic DNA as an external standard.

TL;DR: A new RT-PCR technique to quantify the number of copies of 5- HT(1A) and 5-HT(2A) receptor mRNAs in the brain is presented and is reliable, simple and can be easily set up in any neurobiological laboratory.
