Catecholamines and aggression in animals.
Robert Bell,Peter Hepper +1 more
TLDR
The results indicate that catecholamines may not have a specific role in aggressive behaviour, rather, they may act more to excite or inhibit general behavioural systems, although certain treatments do have a Specific influence on aggressive behaviour.About:

Self-injurious behavior: a review of the behavior and biology of self-mutilation.
Ronald Winchel,Michael Stanley +1 more
TL;DR: Although no form of treatment has yet been demonstrated to be of general benefit, the literature suggests that therapeutic trials with dopamine antagonists, serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and opiate antagonists may be of value.

Social isolation increases aggressive behaviour and alters the effects of diazepam in the rat social interaction test.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that under high light in an unfamiliar arena, the isolation compared to the socially reared rats showed a significantly (P < 0.01) higher level of social interaction, manifested as increases in aggressive and avoidance behaviours, and the effects of diazepam are altered.

Adrenergic alpha2C-receptors modulate the acoustic startle reflex, prepulse inhibition, and aggression in mice.
TL;DR: Drugs acting via α2C-ARs might have therapeutic value in disorders associated with enhanced startle responses and sensorimotor gating deficits, such as schizophrenia, attention deficit disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and drug withdrawal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catecholaminergic involvement in the control of aggression: Hormones, the peripheral sympathetic, and central noradrenergic systems
TL;DR: It appears that by activating very different mechanisms the systems working with adrenaline and/or noradrenaline prepare the animal in a very complex way to answer the demands imposed by, and to endure the effects caused by, fights.

Does methamphetamine use increase violent behaviour? Evidence from a prospective longitudinal study
TL;DR: There is a dose-related increase in violent behaviour during periods of methamphetamine use that is largely independent of the violence risk associated with psychotic symptoms.

Multiple receptors for dopamine.
John W. Kebabian,Donald B. Calne +1 more
TL;DR: Pharmacological and biochemical criteria can be used to separate those dopamine receptors which are linked to the enzyme adenylyl cyclase and those which are not.

Tyrosine hydroxylase. the initial step in norepinephrine biosynthesis.
TL;DR: It has now been possible to demonstrate that brain, adrenal medulla, and sympathetically innervated tissues contain a specific hydroxylase that catalyzes the conversion of L-tyrosine to dopa.

Receptor activity and turnover of dopamine and noradrenaline after neuroleptics.
TL;DR: The most potent and specific neuroleptics seemed to influence mainly the brain DA mechanisms, both functionally and chemically.
