If I read this study correctly, the claim is that a tryptophan-depleted diet in humans led to a reduction in serotonin (not surprising) and that using classical conditioning for aversive learning, the serotonin-depleted group didn't find the conditioning so effective. In other words, reducing serotonin reduced the aversive response. Or, put another way, we could speculate that reduced serotonin means reduced stress response.
Anyone get a different read of it?
