Plasma L-tryptophan depletion and aggressionD M Dougherty
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas Houston Medical School 77030, USA
Adv Exp Med Biol 467:57-65. 1999..Extending these studies to women appears to be the much-needed next step given that serotonergic levels appear to vary both as a function of the menstrual cycle phase and menstrual symptomatology...
Influence of trait hostility on tryptophan depletion-induced laboratory aggressionD M Dougherty
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas Houston Medical School, 77030, USA
Psychiatry Res 88:227-32. 1999..These preliminary data support earlier findings that compared to non-hostile men, hostile men may be more prone to behavior change induced by the perturbation of the 5-HT neurotransmitter system...
Alcohol increases commission error rates for a continuous performance testD M Dougherty
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas Houston Health Science Center 77030, USA
Alcohol Clin Exp Res 23:1342-51. 1999..e., (1) perhaps because of the ease of the task used in previous experiments, alcohol has not been found to impair performance, and (2) CPT commission errors (described below) have been related to impulsive behavior...
Laboratory measures of aggression and impulsivity in women with borderline personality disorderD M Dougherty
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Harris County Psychiatric Center, University of Texas, Houston 77030, USA
Psychiatry Res 85:315-26. 1999..Aggressive responding rates correlated positively with BDHI scores. These results extend previous findings that negative affect in women is reflected in laboratory behavioral measures...
Effects of moderate and high doses of alcohol on attention, impulsivity, discriminability, and response bias in immediate and delayed memory task performanceD M Dougherty
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas Houston Health Science Center 77030, USA
Alcohol Clin Exp Res 24:1702-11. 2000..The first is important because previous studies have shown little effect of alcohol on attention, and the second is important because commission errors have been related to impulsive behaviors...
Immediate versus delayed visual memory task performance among schizophrenic patients and normal control subjectsD M Dougherty
Harris County Psychiatric Center, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas at Houston Health Science Center, 77030, USA
Psychiatry Res 79:255-65. 1998..This paradigm may prove useful in discriminating subtle differences in immediate and delayed memory capability among psychiatric populations and normal control subjects...
Ipsapirone neuroendocrine challenge: relationship to aggression as measured in the human laboratoryF G Moeller
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas Houston Health Science Center, 77030, USA
Psychiatry Res 81:31-8. 1998..This study supports a relationship between serotonin function and aggression as measured in the human laboratory, similar to the well-documented association between self-reported aggression and serotonin...
Laboratory measurement of adaptive behavior change in humans with a history of substance dependenceS D Lane
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas Health Science Center Houston 77030, USA
Drug Alcohol Depend 51:239-52. 1998..These data suggest a deficiency in adaptive behavior change, particularly when that change requires an abrupt slowing of response rates following a brief history of high-rate responding...
Psychiatric aspects of impulsivityF G Moeller
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas Houston Health Science Center, 77030, USA
Am J Psychiatry 158:1783-93. 2001..The authors discuss the relationship of impulsivity to psychiatric disorders and present selected hypotheses regarding the reasons for these relationships...
Endogenous plasma testosterone levels and commission errors in women: A preliminary reportJ M Bjork
Neurobehavioral Research Laboratory and Clinic, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas-Houston Medical School, 1300 Moursund, Houston, TX 77030, USA
Physiol Behav 73:217-21. 2001..In light of the fact previous studies find commission errors on the CPT are associated with impulsivity, the results of this study support a positive relationship between testosterone and impulsivity...
Measurement of inter-episode impulsivity in bipolar disorderA C Swann
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas Houston Medical School, 77030, USA
Psychiatry Res 101:195-7. 2001..Laboratory measurements of impulsivity correlated with a BIS-11 score or severity of manic symptoms. Impulsivity in bipolar disorder may have both stable and state-dependent aspects...
The influence of menstrual-cycle phase on the relationship between testosterone and aggressionD M Dougherty
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, The University of Texas, Houston 77030, USA
Physiol Behav 62:431-5. 1997..self-report of perimenstrual symptomatology is a more consistent predictor of aggressive behavior across the menstrual cycle than plasma testosterone; and 3. perimenstrual emotional symptomatology is not related to testosterone levels...
Low dose zolmitriptan as a 5-HT neuroendocrine challenge agent in humansF G Moeller
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas Houston Health Science Center, Houston 77030, USA
Psychoneuroendocrinology 25:607-18. 2000..The neuroendocrine effects of 2.5 mg of orally administered zolmitriptan are similar to previously reported effects of sumatriptan, with minimal side effects...
The impact of impulsivity on cocaine use and retention in treatmentF G Moeller
Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas Houston Health Science Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA
J Subst Abuse Treat 21:193-8. 2001..This study shows that impulsivity is a significant predictor of cocaine use and treatment retention, and suggests the need for targeting impulsivity in cocaine dependence treatment...

Alcohol Res Health 25:5-11. 2001..Alternatively, the association between ASPD and alcohol-related aggression may stem from some as yet undetermined factor(s) that increase the risk for aggression in general...
