Answer to Question 1

Answer: The activity of serotonergic neurons functions to inhibit risk-taking behaviors that include aggression. Damage to forebrain serotonin neurons increases aggression. while drugs that are serotonin agonists can reduce aggression.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Amygdala cells change their firing rate in response to the presentation of emotionally relevant stimuli. These responses cut across sensory domains (vision, audition) and can be conditioned (the sight of a syringe that was previously used to inject bitter substances in the mouth of the subject).
