Abstract

The traditional view of dinosaurs as sluggish behemoths is now being increasingly supplanted by a picture of animals that were in fact vigorous and energetic. This revolution in our understanding is in part due to researchers scrutinizing the remains of these Mesozoic giants ... under the microscope.

The Ancient Greeks described many different impulsive behaviors, including mania - a religious frenzy - and /yssa - the mad fury of war. The division is analogous to that made by contemporary neurobiology, which classifies aggressive actions as cool or emotional, each driven by distinct, mutually exclusive neurological mechanisms.
