✦ Synopsis

In a foot shock-induced fighting (FSIF) test, serotonergic and antiserotonergic agents were examined. Stimulation of the brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) neurons with different serotonergic agents, such as l-tryptophan, 5-hydroxytryptophan, imipramine, fluoxetine, 5-methoxy-tryptamine, quipazine, and fenfluramine, showed the inhibiting role of the 5-HT system in FSIF. At the same time, following the results obtained in FSIF tests and locomotor activity tests, it can be inferred that the 5-HT antagonists used (methysergide, cyproheptadine, metergoline, cinnarizine, and pizotifen) do not act specifically in this model of aggression. P-Chlorophenylalanine effects on mice in FSIF also seem to be partly due to catecholaminolytic action.

The caudate nucleus or the tuberculum olfactorium of the rat was lesioned by bilateral stereotaxic injection of 6-hydroxydopamine. The degree of dopamine depletion was assessed by a sensitive regional dopamine assay and revealed severe depletions in the lesioned areas. The locomotor response to a lo
