Genetic determinants of aggression and impulsivity in humans.

Journal of applied genetics - 1 Feb 2012

Pavlov Konstantin A, Chistiakov Dimitry A, Chekhonin Vladimir P

Abstract excerpt

Human aggression/impulsivity-related traits have a complex background that is greatly influenced by genetic and non-genetic factors. The relationship between aggression and anxiety is regulated by highly conserved brain regions including amygdala, which controls neural circuits triggering defensive, aggressive, or avoidant behavioral models. The dysfunction of neural circuits responsible for emotional control was...
