Understanding genetic risk for aggression: clues from the brain's response to social exclusion.

Biological psychiatry - 1 May 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Although research indicates a relationship between the monoamine oxidase-A (MAOA) gene and aggression, the intervening neural and psychological mechanisms are unknown. Individuals with the low expression allele (MAOA-L) of a functional polymorphism in the MAOA gene might be prone to aggression because they are socially or emotionally hyposensitive and thus care less about harming others or because...
