DATIRESCre: ai32 double-mutant mice express ChR2-eYFP in DAergic neurons. Single-mutant mice do not express ChR2-eYFP and served as controls. Fiberoptic cables were implanted into mice with their tips just dorsal to the VTA. Aggressive behavior was assessed in mixed pairs of DATIRESCre: ai32 double-transgenic mice and single-mutant controls. Only one mouse in a pair was stimulated. Aggressive behavior was increased in pairs when DATIRESCre: ai32 double-mutant mice were stimulated when compared to pairs where the single-mutant controls were stimulated.
