Substance P in the medial amygdala regulates aggressive behaviors in male mice.
Neuropsychopharmacology
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- Research indicates that substance P (SP) plays a significant role in aggression, but the neural mechanisms are not yet fully understood.
- Tachykinin-expressing neurons in the medial amygdala are activated during aggressive behavior in male mice, highlighting their importance in aggression regulation.
- SP and its receptor, NK-1R, modulate aggressive behavior through their effects on glutamate transmission in the ventrolateral part of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus, suggesting that SP is a crucial component in the neural circuits of aggression.
