2. Methods of studying genetics: Genes cloned and biological components changed
- Genetic Manipulation
- Case Study
- Heritability
3. Gene that produces an enzyme that regulates neurotransmitter levels linked to aggression e.g. seretonin and dopamine
- Monoamine Oxidase (MAOA)
- SRY gene
4. High activity MAOA ensures:
- excess neurotransmitters are reduced meaning reduced aggression
- increases neurotransmitters to reduce aggression
- excess neurotransmitters are reduced meaning increased aggression
5. Study of MAOA in humans, found after abuse and maltreatment, those with high activity MAOA gene were less likely to be aggressive than those with low activity MAOA gene
- Alcock
- Capsi et al
- Mattson
- Bruner
