Journal ArticleDOI
Ventromedial hypothalamic neurons control a defensive emotion state
Prabhat S. Kunwar,Moriel Zelikowsky,Ryan Remedios,Haijiang Cai,Melis Yilmaz,Markus Meister,David J. Anderson +6 more
TL;DR: Optogenetic manipulations indicate that the hypothalamus plays an integral role to instantiate emotion states, and is not simply a passive effector of upstream emotion centers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aggressive behavior in the rat.
TL;DR: Examination of specific behaviors obtained in “aggression,’ “fighting,” or “dominance” tasks suggests that no commonly employed psychological test provides an adequate measure of intraspecific attack behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexually dimorphic neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus govern mating in both sexes and aggression in males.
Cindy F. Yang,Michael C. Chiang,Daniel C. Gray,Mahalakshmi Prabhakaran,Maricruz Alvarado,Scott A. Juntti,Elizabeth K. Unger,James A. Wells,Nirao M. Shah +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that sexually dimorphic neurons can control distinct sex-typical behaviors in both sexes, and the corresponding ablation in males reduces mating and aggression.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ventromedial hypothalamic syndrome, satiety, and a cephalic phase hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brain Mechanisms for Offense, Defense and Submission
TL;DR: In this article, a preliminary attempt is made to analyze the intraspecific aggressive behavior of mammals in terms of specific neural circuitry, and it is suggested that motivating stimuli activate pathways that converge upon sets of homogeneous neurons, called motivational mechanisms, whose activity determines the motivational state of the animal.

Reflexive fighting in response to aversive stimulation.
Roger E. Ulrich,N. H. Azrin +1 more
TL;DR: Reflexive fighting was elicited between paired rats as a reflex reaction to electric shock prior to any specific conditioning, and under optimal conditions fighting was consistently elicited by shock regardless of the rat's sex, strain, previous familiarity with each other, or the number present during shock.
