Biological Substrates of Aggressive Behavior 1. Neurochemical and Hormonal Control

Abstract

There is a large evidente, mainly in subhuman animals, that the cerebral neurotransmissors and some hormones, i.e. androgens, play in a way or another the role of regulators ofthe aggressive behavior. In this paper we study the work of several researchers that throw some light on the way the neurochemical and hormonal control in that behavior is made.
