We tested the theory that central serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT) activity regulates
aggression by modulating response to provocation. Eighty men and women (40 with and 40 …

Many contemporary theorists believe serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmitter functioning plays a
role in the regulation of human aggressive behavior. We argue that the evidence supporting …

The neurotransmitter serotonin (5‐HT) has been implicated in the modulation of aggression
in animals and humans. A longstanding dogma that aggression and serotonergic activity are …

Serotonin (5–HT) has been suggested to play an important role in the control of aggressive
behaviour in animals (Valzelli, 1981) and man (Muhlbauer, 1985). This does not imply …

This study investigated the relationship between increased serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine,
5HT) receptor sensitivity and human aggression. A low oral dose of meta …

Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the serotonin (5‐HT)
system in alcohol‐related aggression. Methods: Specifically, we experimentally examined …

Normal males received amino acid mixtures designed to raise or lower tryptophan
availability, and thus to raise or lower brain serotonin synthesis. They also received …

There has been much interest in the role of serotonin in aggressive behavior during the past
two decades, but no simple one-to-one causal relationship has been found between this …

Numerous studies link decreased serotonin metabolites with increased impulsive and
aggressive traits. However, although pharmacological depletion of serotonin is associated …

Previous research has indicated that laboratory aggression in men increases after
temporarily reducing the synthesis and neurotransmission of serotonin (5-HT) in the brain …
