Serotonin
5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors act as inhibitory autoreceptors. Located on cell bodies and axon terminals, respectively.
Also function as inhibitory heteroreceptors in corticolimbic regions related to modulation of aggression.

Purpose of Study
Assess anti-aggressive effects of 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B agonist receptors in the ventral orbitofrontal cortex of socially provoked male mice.
Specificity confirmed by injection of 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B antagonist receptors.
![Page 10: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Methods
Subjects: Adult male mice CF1 (40-50g) Divided into 3 groups:
residents (n=110)intruders (n=110)instigators (n=50)
![Page 11: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Methods
All mice maintained on 12:12 h light/dark cycle.
Food/water provided ad libitum.Each resident housed in cage with a
female.Intruders and instigators kept in groups of
ten.Testing took place between hours 9:00-
16:00 of light phase.
![Page 12: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Resident-Intruder Confrontation
Resident mice submitted to successive confrontations with intruder.
3x a week, at least 24h intervals.Establish baseline of aggressive
behavior.
![Page 13: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Resident-Intruder Confrontation
Each test lasted 5 minutes.Intruder replaced if it attacked
resident.Only kept residents who delivered at
least ten bites.
![Page 14: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Social Instigation
Procedure used to increase aggressive behavior.
Exposure of resident that can be seen, heard, and smelled, but is protected by a screen.
Attacks after social instigation generally start with short latency and high frequency.
![Page 15: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Social Instigation
Place instigator in resident’s cage in clear perforated cylinder for 5 min.
Remove instigator and wait additional 5 min.
Place intruder in resident cage with no protection for 5 min.
![Page 16: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Surgery
Each resident mouse anesthetized and implanted with 26-gauge cannula.
Cannula placed in VO PFC of left hemisphere

Group 1
Injected with 8-OH-DPAT or CP-93,129 .1, .56, 1.0 g/l
Controls injected with saline solution.Injections occurred 15 min before
behavioral test.
![Page 19: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Group 2
WAY-100,635 or SB-224,289 injected 30 min before 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B agonists respectively.
Controls received two injections of saline solution.
5 min after last injection, residents exposed to social confrontation.

Behavioral Analysis
Confrontations recorded and observed for aggressive and non-aggressive elements.
Aggressive: sniffing, sideways threat, bite, pursuit,
tail rattleNon-aggressive:
grooming, rearing, walking
![Page 21: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Statistical Analysis
Compared baseline aggression with aggression after social instigation.
Dose-effect data from each agonist and antagonist were analyzed using one-way ANOVA.
![Page 22: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Results: Control
Aggressive behavior increased with all mice exposed to social instigation
![Page 23: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Results: 5-HT1A
Injections of 5-HT1A agonist into VO PFC lowered frequency of attack bites at .56 and 1.0 ug doses.
Injections of antagonist negated these effects
![Page 24: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Results: 5-HT1B
Injections of 5-HT1B agonist into VO PFC lowered frequency of attack bites at the lowest dose, .1 ug.
Again, injections of antagonist negated these effects.
Frequency of sideways threat was also reduced with injection of agonist.

Results: Non-aggressive
Motor activity of agonist injected mice was not significantly different from vehicle.
However, significant difference between two types of agonists.

Discussion
Social instigation effective means of increasing aggressiveness in rodents.
5-HT1A and 5-HT1B agonists significantly reduce amount of attacks.
5-HT1B more effective means of reducing aggressiveness than 5-HT1A.
![Page 34: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Discussion
Agonists did not reduce tail rattles, sniffing, or in case of 5-HT1A agonist, sideways threat.
Only consummatory effects of aggression were reduced.
Social activity was not affected.Shows a different pattern than other anti-
aggression drugs such as antipsychotics, antidepressants, alcohol...

Discussion
Specificity of 5-HT agonists confirmed with injections of 5-HT antagonists into VO PFC.
![Page 36: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Implications
Medial and orbital regions of PFC related to modulation of impulsive aggression.
Damage or dysfunction of PFC leads to several psychiatric conditions. Inability to inhibit aggressive and
impulsive behavior.
![Page 37: Social instigation and aggressive behavior in mice: role of 5-HT 1A and 5- HT 1B receptors in the prefrontal cortex Ligia et al. Ryan Mullaly](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649e5d5503460f94b56573/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Examples
11% reduction in PFC of patients exhibiting impulsive aggression.
Murderers show general reduction in glucose metabolism within PFC.
