Abstract
ALTHOUGH VIOLENT crime has decreased in the past decade, violent incidents involving impulsive aggression rather than planned violence are increasing.1 These include juvenile violence, domestic violence, and workplace acts of aggression.2,3 Violence and homicide are significantly associated with mental illness, especially antisocial and borderline personality disorder.4 Considering the serious consequences of impulsive-aggressive behavior, its neurobiology has received little scrutiny.
