Note: D2R = dopamine D2 receptor density; 5-HT1BR = 5-HT1B receptor density; AcbC = core of the nucleus accumbens; AcbSh = shell of the nucleus accumbens; BLA = basolateral amygdala; AN = acute exposure to non-aggression; CN = chronic exposure to non-aggression; AA = acute exposure to aggression; CA = chronic exposure to aggression.

Age was covariated in all analyses.
