  • Title: The neural basis of dominance hierarchy formation in crayfish.
    Author: Edwards DH, Issa FA, Herberholz J.
    Journal: Microsc Res Tech; 2003 Feb 15; 60(3):369-76. PubMed ID: 12539166.
    Abstract:
    Fifty years of study of the nervous system and behavior of crayfish have revealed neural circuits for movements that are similar to those seen during formation of a dominance hierarchy. Given this background, it is of interest to ask what is understood about the neural substrates of dominance hierarchy formation. Here we will consider the social behavior that crayfish display in the wild and in the laboratory, and its relationship to movements released by activation of specific neural circuits. We will consider how these movements might be knit together to produce the behavior patterns that are characteristic of dominant and subordinate animals.
