On Aggression -- What Makes Us Fight

Ed Kravitz doesn't want to control the masses or create super soldiers but he does want to understand the complex genetic circuitry of aggression responsive behavior. He's studying the genetics of aggression by observing aggression in flies and lobsters.

All 50 Secrets of the Sequence videos have an accompanying classroom-tested lesson that encourages students to further explore the video topics. Each lesson includes background information, state and national science standards, discussion questions and answers, teacher notes and an activity that will ensure a hands-on, "minds-on" experience.

I think it would be interesting to test out this out on the brain as well as the body response and hook up boxers then hook up mixed martial artist and see if they differ and also use it on different styles of fighting such as kenpo and jujit-su and see if the body response changes from standing up and punching and kicking to laying down and grappling.
