TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Serotonin and aggression and the alcohol-aggression relationship JO - Alcohol and alcoholism A1 - Pihl, R. O. A1 - LeMarquand, D. SP - 55 EP - 65 VL - 33 IS - 1 N2 - The consumption of an intoxicating dose of alcohol increases the likelihood of violent behaviour. Three possible mechanisms involving potentiation, inhibition, and disorganization of behaviour are presented. The manner in which these three effects may be mediated by serotonergic activity is briefly discussed. A more extensive review of the serotonin-aggression relationship is then presented.
