Smaller than expected inverse relationship between serotonin and aggression. 4 of 31 Straiker and Mackie Shows recreational drugs affect the brain using hippocampal neurons from mice. 5 of 31 Pertwee Shows brain has more than one reward pathway so recreational drugs aren't that bad. 6 of 31 Heinz Found link between increased alcohol intake and aggression due to serotonin transmission in amygdala. 7 of 31 Andy and Velamati Supports role of limbic system in aggression, as cats have aggressive seizures when it is stimulated. 8 of 31 Downer Supports amygdala and evolution in aggression because monkeys are passive without it. 9 of 31 Raine Supports brain structure causing aggression as NGRIs have abnormal brain. 10 of 31 Sperry Supports role of brain structure in aggression, particularly with corpus callosum. 11 of 31 Swantje Supports role of amygdala in aggression. Aggressive women have a lower volume of amygdala by 16%. 12 of 31 Phineas Gage Case study that supports role of prefrontal cortex in aggression. 13 of 31 King and Whitman Case studies that support amygdala's role in aggression. 14 of 31 Adelson Shows that brain shows homonal stress response to aggression triggering hypothalamus. 15 of 31 Trainor Mice can't be generalised to humans, but their hypothalamus and limbic system is similar. 16 of 31 Marsh Low connectivity between amygdala and prefrontal cortex is present with aggression. 17 of 31 Buss and Shackleton Supports evolution in aggression. Men use debasement and intersexual threats when threatened. 18 of 31 Lorenz Supports evolution as geece imprint on adult and adult is aggressive to protect babies. 19 of 31 Wynne-Edwards Group selection is to keep populations in check. 20 of 31 Batra Used the term 'eusocial' to decribe nesting behaviour in bees as they cooperate. 21 of 31 Dobash Supports evolution as sexual jealousy leads to aggression. 22 of 31 Dollard Frustration aggression theory: when source of frustration can't be challenged, displacement happens. 23 of 31 Dabbs Supports role of hormones in aggression. 10/11 prisoners have high testosterone levels. 24 of 31 Barzman Supports role of hormones in aggression. Boys in psychiatric hospital are aggressive with more cortisol. 25 of 31 Chang Supports role of hormones in aggression. Fish are more aggressive with more testosterone and cortisol. 26 of 31 Wagner Supports role of hormones in aggression. Castrated mice are less aggressive. 27 of 31 Mazure and Booth Men with more testosterone are more likely to be delinquent. 28 of 31 Montoya Testosterone/cortisol balance predicts impulsivity and instrumental aggression. 29 of 31 Fromm Adds to psychodynamic theory. Two types of aggression, one when threatened and one when achieving goals. 30 of 31 Sluyter Although mice and humans share 90% of genes, they can't be generalised. 31 of 31
