Study of the concentration of neuromediators - noradrenalin and serotonin - in
the mice hypothalamus showed that in determining dominant behaviour a major role
is played by a high level of noradrenalin, and of a submissive behaviour - a
high level of serotonin. At the same time low aggressive animals (the so-called
"transitional" group) were characterized by the correlation of
noradrenalin/serotonin, which determined their place between dominant and
submissive animals.
