Question 3

Correct Answer:

Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

There are several brain regions and body chemicals that play a role in aggression. The amygdala, which is located in the temporal lobe of the brain, is involved in processing emotions and is often associated with aggressive behavior. The prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making and impulse control, also plays a role in regulating aggression.

In terms of body chemicals, testosterone has been linked to increased aggression in both men and women. Serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood and behavior, has also been implicated in aggressive behavior. Low levels of serotonin have been associated with increased aggression.

Additionally, the hormone cortisol, which is released in response to stress, can also influence aggression. High levels of cortisol have been linked to increased aggression and impulsivity.

Overall, the interplay between these brain regions and body chemicals is complex and can vary from person to person, but they all contribute to the regulation of aggressive behavior.
