• Approach–Avoidance versus Dominance–Submissiveness: A Multilevel Neural Framework on How Testosterone Promotes Social Status (2013, background): “Secondly, in many species testosterone is causally involved in aggression (Nelson & Trainor, 2007), but only in social aggression against conspecifics (Archer, 2006).”
• The Vertebrate mesolimbic reward system and social behavior network: A comparative synthesis (2011, background): “Behavior patterns considered in this context have been reproduction (Sakata et al., 2005; Balthazart and Ball, 2007), aggression (Nelson and Trainor, 2007), and parental care (Ruscio and Adkins-Regan, 2004), and—more generally—variation of sociality (e.g., gregarious vs. solitary) across species…”
• What is Approach Motivation? (2013, background): “Research with rodents has suggested that the posteroventral medial amygdala and dorsomedial ventromedial hypothalamus are more important for regulating aggression in defensive contexts, whereas the posterodorsal medial amygdala is more important in offensive contexts (Nelson & Trainor, 2007).”
• Discriminative and affective touch: sensing and feeling. (2014, background): “…behavior in humans comes from studies by Pine et al. (1997), who find that boys who grow up in families that provided deficient nurturing were not only more at risk of later delinquency than controls, but also showed abnormalities in 5-HT function (also see Nelson and Trainor, 2007 for a review).”
• Measuring Group Climate in Prison (2011, positive): “Neurohormones connected with aggression (Fishbein & Sheppard, 2006; Nelson & Trainor, 2007; Popma & Raine, 2006) are often produced by an environment that is 5 characterised by stress, fear and aggression.”
• Anger is an approach-related affect: evidence and implications. (2009, background): “Research with rodents has suggested that the posteroventral medial amygdala and dorsomedial ventromedial hypothalamus are more important for regulating aggression in defensive contexts, whereas the posterodorsal medial amygdala is more important in offensive contexts (Nelson & Trainor, 2007).”
• The roles of the amygdala in the affective regulation of body, brain, and behaviour (2010, background): “5-HT modulates mood, anger, aggression, stress, sleep, body temperature, and metabolism (Grahn, Maswood, McQueen, Watkins, and Maier 1999; Maier and Watkins 2005; Sørensen, Bjorvatn, and Ursin 2000; Nelson and Trainor 2007).6 4.3.”
