Abstract:
Clearly, models of developmentally induced aggression in animals can give us important insights into the factors inducing aggression in children. Several such models have been produced, and the neurochemical substrates eliciting the aggressive behavior have been identified. In many cases, the serotonergic system is involved. In the future, these animal models may also prove useful in identifying appropriate treatments.
