  1. ncbi Fly fighting: octopamine modulates aggression
    Herman A Dierick
    Department of Molecular and Human Genetics, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
    Curr Biol 18:R161-3. 2008
    ..A new study using an automated method to analyze one component of male fly aggression has shown that the biogenic amine octopamine plays a role in the modulation of aggressive behavior...

    Ralph J Greenspan
    The Neurosciences Institute, San Diego, CA 92118, USA
    Hum Mol Genet 13:R267-73. 2004
    ..Studies of naturally occurring genetic variation in behavior have advanced our understanding of what kinds of variants arise spontaneously and contribute to behavior...
  4. ncbi Molecular analysis of flies selected for aggressive behavior
    Herman A Dierick
    The Neurosciences Institute, 10640 John J Hopkins Drive, San Diego, California 92121, USA
    Nat Genet 38:1023-31. 2006
    ..These results suggest that selection for increases in aggression can be used to molecularly dissect this behavior...
  5. ncbi Serotonin and neuropeptide F have opposite modulatory effects on fly aggression
    Herman A Dierick
    The Neurosciences Institute, 10640 John J Hopkins Drive, San Diego, California 92121, USA
    Nat Genet 39:678-82. 2007
    ..Moreover, this neuropeptide F effect seems to be independent of 5-HT. The implication of these two modulatory systems in fly and mouse aggression suggest a marked degree of conservation and a deep molecular root for this behavior...

    Nat Protoc 2:2712-8. 2007
    ..More in-depth analysis, including latency, index and intensity, can be performed on the videotaped record of the experiment. The assay is highly reproducible and requires limited resources in a simple setup...
