Abstract

The potential for at least partial reversible transition of aggressionโ€ and anxietyโ€type symptomatology suggested searching for a potential biochemical link between subโ€cellular mechanisms involved in the execution of aggression and anxiety. The effects of norepinephrine combined with dopamine and of epinephrine on these two types of behavior were tested. Responses to footโ€shock were used to test aggression, extinction of avoidance response was used to test anxietyโ€type behavior. The results suggested that one of the possible links between the intracerebral processes responsible for execution of aggressionโ€ and anxietyโ€type behaviors is transmethylation of norepinephrine and/or dopamine to epinephrine.
