The Ventral Hippocampus Controls Stress-Provoked Impulsive Aggression through the Ventromedial Hypothalamus in Post-Weaning Social Isolation Mice

Summary: Impulsively aggressive individuals may suddenly attack others when under stress, but the neural circuitry underlying stress-provoked aggression is poorly understood. Here, we report that acute stress activates ventral hippocampus (vHip) neurons to induce attack behavior in post-weaning soci...
