    Salk's scientists have found a gene and a group of cells in the fruit fly's brain that prevents escalating aggressive behavior



    The brain mechanisms that cause aggressive behavior have been well studied


    The findings, published in Science Advances, have implications for diseases such as Parkinson's, which sometimes leads to behavioral changes such as increased aggression and aggressiveness


    Senior author Kenta Asahina, assistant professor and researcher at Salk's Laboratory of Molecular Neurobiology, said: "We found an important mechanism in the brain that typically prevents us from expressing high levels of attack


    Reducing the ability to escalate a conflict, or decide when to stop fighting, is a vital survival behavior, as it allows animals to adjust their aggression based on the costs and benefits of encountering an opponent — at some point, it's no longer worth it


    "The function of the nerve is to build a nervous system where when the right signals are passed in, the animals are ready to stop fighting," said lead author Kenichi Ishii, a postdoctoral researcher in


    "Although fruit flies are very different animals from humans, some of the mechanisms of the two species may be similar


    Although the authors also found that there is a small group of cells (neurons) in the brain that use neural genes to reduce the escalation of the battle, more work needs to be done to understand the brain circuits
