Neural Mechanisms
  1. Seratonon
    1. A01
      1. Low seratonin levels are associated with aggression
        1. Seranonin reduces aggression by inhibiting responses to stimuni that usually lead to aggression
          1. MANN- Drugs that reduce seratonin increase aggression
          2. A02
            1. Support...
              1. RAINE- neurotransmitters in antisocial, lower levels of seratonin in aggressive. also low in those attempted suicide
                1. RALEIGH- animal, if given tryptophn, less aggressive
                  1. POPUVA- animals bred for docile and passive behaviour high levels of seratonin
              2. Dopamine
                1. A01
                  1. High dopamine levels associated with aggression
                    1. LAVINE- drugs to increase dopamine in studies linked to aggression
                      1. BUITELAAR- studies using drugs to reduce dopamine, eg antipsychotics, reduce aggression
                      2. A02
                        1. Support...
                          1. COUPPIS- path to brain in mice when aggressive, dopamine released, acts as reward
                          2. However...
                            1. SCERBO- found low levels of seratonin in aggression, but no significant rise or fall of dopamine
                        2. Testosterone
                          1. A01
                            1. High testosterone levels associated with aggression
                              1. DABBS- criminals with high testosterone had committed violent crimes/ low testoesterone, non violent crimes
                                1. 'Callenge Hypethesis' testosterone only rises in response to social challenges resulting in aggression
                                2. A02
                                  1. However...
                                    1. ALBERT- claimed inconsistent results, too small studies, as most are of men in prisons relying on self report techniques
                                      1. ARCHER- career women have higher levels. may be linked to assertiveness instead of aggression
                                  2. A03
                                    1. SOCIALLY SENSITIVE- may not want to admit they are aggressive
                                      1. ANIMALS- not generalisable. bio and cognitively different
                                        1. ANDROCENTRIC- testosterone, mostly conducted on males
                                        2. Cortisol
                                          1. A01
                                            1. High levels inhibit testosterone and so aggression. Low levels correlate with violence
                                            2. A02
                                              1. Support...
                                                1. MCBURNETT- boys with aggressive disorder, low cortisol levels, 3x level of aggressive symptoms. cortisol strong correlation with aggression
