Serotonergic influences on life-history outcomes in free-ranging male Rhesus Macaques
Article Abstract:
The longitudinal measures of serotonergic and dopaminergic functioning are predictive of major life-history outcomes in nonhuman primate males. Low concentrations of Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of the serotonin metabolite 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) are associated with negative life-history patterns characterized by social instability and excessive aggression and positive life-history patterns characterized by higher dominance rank.
