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.
五十年来对小龙虾神经系统和行为的研究揭示了其运动的神经回路，这些回路与在优势等级形成过程中所观察到的相似。基于此背景，探究关于优势等级形成的神经基础的理解情况是很有意义的。在这里，我们将考虑小龙虾在野外和实验室中表现出的社会行为，以及它与特定神经回路激活所引发的运动之间的关系。我们将思考这些运动如何可能被整合在一起，以产生优势和从属动物所特有的行为模式。
