Title: The neurobiology of aggression and rage
First published: 2005
Description: An up-to-date review and analysis of the biological factors and processes that are involved in the expression and control of rage and aggressive behavior. Focusing on the understanding of the anatomical substrates of the major forms of aggression, the book also examines their basic underlying physiological, neurochemical and genetic mechanisms. Integrating various levels of analysis including neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, genetic and neurochemical, in which homologies are shown between humans and lower forms with respect to normal and abnormal expressions of aggressive behavior, this book will bring students, researchers and faculty right up-to-date in terms of the facts, issues, theories and scientific approaches, used for the study of aggression.
