**Recipient:** University of Florida

**Award Amount:** $762,991.00
**Ceiling:** $762,991.00

**Awarded:** September 08, 2026

**Identifier:** 7R01MH104603-10

The University of Florida will study how age-specific biological mechanisms contribute to pathological aggression, including the roles of serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, steroids, and dopaminergic neurotransmission.

### Description

Research project examining the biological and neurodevelopmental mechanisms underlying pathological aggression, using a mouse model of the interaction between low-activity MAOA alleles and early-life stress.
