Abstract
The aggressivity is modulated in honeybee brain through a series of actions in cascade mode, with the participation of the neuropeptides AmAST A (59-76) and AmTRP (254-262). The aggressivity of honeybees was stimulated by injecting both neuropeptides in the hemocoel of the worker honeybees, which were submitted to behavioral assays of aggression. The brain of stinger individuals were removed by dissection and submitted to proteomic analysis; shotgun proteomic approach of honeybee brain revealed that both neuropeptides activate a series of biochemical processes responsible by production of energy, neuronal plasticity and cell protection. In addition to this, AmTRP (254-262) elicited the expression of proteins related to the processing of the potential of action and lipid metabolism; meanwhile AmAST A (59-76) elicited the metabolism of steroids and Juvenile hormone-related metabolism, amongst others. Apparently, the most complex biochemical process seems to be the regulation of ATP production, which occurs at two levels: i) by a subgroup of proteins common to the three experimental groups, which are over-/under-regulated through glycolysis, pyruvate pathway, Krebbs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation; ii) by a subgroup of proteins unique to the each experimental group, which seems to be regulated through Protein-Protein Interactions, where the protein network regulated by AmTRP (254-262) seems to be more complex than the other two experimental groups. SIGNIFICANCE: Recently we reported the effect of the neuropeptides AmAST A (59-76) and AmTRP (254-262) in the modulation of the aggressive behavior of the worker honeybees. Up to now it is known that the simple presence of the allatostatin and tachykinin-related-peptide in bee brain, is enough for inducing the aggressive behavior. However, nothing was known about how these neuropeptides perform their action, inducing the aggressive behavior. The results of the present study elucidated some of the metabolic pathways that were activated or inhibited to support the complex defensive behavior, which includes the aggressivity. These results certainly will impact the behavioral research of honeybees, since we are paving the way for understanding the molecular base of regulation, of individual /nest defense of honeybees.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intermittent explosive outbursts (IEO), manifesting as sudden episodes of verbal or physical aggression, are frequently present in patients with Tourette disorder (TD) and considered as one of the most disabling symptoms by patients and families. The neuronal correlates of these behaviours are poorly understood, and this was the primary objective of the present study. METHODS We assessed the presence of IEO in 55 patients with TD and then compared the subgroup of the patients with IEO to those without these manifestations using a multimodal neuroimaging approach. RESULTS 47% of TD patients presented IEO, which was frequently associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). TD patients (without ADHD) with IEO compared to TD without IEO, showed structural changes in the right supplementary motor area as well as in the right hippocampus (increased fractional anisotropy), and in the left orbitofrontal cortex (decreased mean diffusivity). Using these three nodes as seeds for resting state functional connectivity, we showed a lower connectivity within the sensori-motor cortico-basal ganglia network, and an altered connectivity pattern among the orbito-frontal cortex, amygdala and hippocampus. CONCLUSIONS Overall, our results indicate that TD with IEO is associated with brain dysfunction related to a less efficient top-down control on action selection, and impairments related to emotional regulation, impulse control and aggressive behaviours.

Abstract
Sexual disturbances, and aggressivity are a major social problem. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in the control of these behaviors are largely unknown. FGF14, which is an intracellular protein controlling neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission, has been implied in neurologic and psychiatric disorders. Mice with Fgf14 deletion show blunted responses to drugs of abuse. By behavioral tests we show that male Fgf14 knockout mice have a marked reduction of several behaviors including aggressivity and sexual behavior. Other behaviors driven by spontaneous initiative like burying novel objects and spontaneous digging and climbing are also reduced in Fgf14 knockout mice. These deficits cannot be attributed to a generalized decrease of activity levels, because in the open field test Fgf14 knockout mice have the same spontaneous locomotion as wild types and increased rearing. Our results show that Fgf14 is important to preserve a set of behaviors and suggest that fine tuning of neuronal function by Fgf14 is an important mechanism of control for such behaviors.

Abstract
Inbred mouse strains have been used preferentially for behavioral testing over outbred counterparts, even though outbred mice reflect the genetic diversity in the human population better. Here, we compare the sociability of widely available outbred CD1 mice with the commonly used inbred C57BL/6J (C57) mice in the one-chamber social interaction test and the three-chamber sociability test. In the one-chamber task, intra-strain pairs of juvenile, non-littermate, male CD1 or C57 mice display a series of social and aggressive behaviors. While CD1 and C57 pairs spend equal amount of time socializing, CD1 pairs spend significantly more time engaged in aggressive behaviors than C57 mice. In the three-chamber task, sociability of C57 mice was less dependent on acclimation paradigms than CD1 mice. Following acclimation to all three chambers, both groups of age-matched male mice spent more time in the chamber containing a stranger mouse than in the empty chamber, suggesting that CD1 mice are sociable like C57 mice. However, the observed power suggests that it is easier to achieve statistical significance with C57 than CD1 mice. Because the stranger mouse could be considered as a novel object, we assessed for a novelty effect by adding an object. CD1 mice spend more time in the chamber with a stranger mouse than that a novel object, suggesting that their preference is social in nature. Thus, outbred CD1 mice are as appropriate as inbred C57 mice for studying social behavior using either the single or the three-chamber test using a specific acclimation paradigm.
