Childrens with aggressive problems (disruptive behavior disorders) show reduced activity in the ACC[1]. ventral mPFC might be involved in affective processes associated with compassion to the suffering opponent[2]. Adolescent with conduct disorder (aggressive disorder) had lower activation of the ACC, lower sociomoral judgment and higher need for novelty seeking[3].
Emotion is normally regulated in the human brain by a complex circuit consisting of the orbital frontal cortex, amygdala, anterior cingulate cortex, and several other interconnected regions. There are both genetic and environmental contributions to the structure and function of this circuitry. It is posit that impulsive aggression and violence arise as a consequence of faulty emotion regulation[4].
Measuring Aggression
- Subjects were provoked by increasingly aversive stimuli and were given the opportunity to respond aggressively against their opponent by administering a stimulus as retaliation[5].
