Abstract

Aggression is an umbrella term referring to behaviors intended to harm others. However, aggressive behaviors vary in terms of forms (i.e., physical, verbal) and functions (i.e., proactive, reactive). Recent findings suggest that both motives and forms may be associated with distinct brain structures. However, no studies have meta-analytically summarized their commonalities and differences. A systematic search strategy was conducted up to May 1st 2023 using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Seed-based d Mapping with Permutation of Subject Image was used to meta-analyze voxel-based morphometry studies. Exploratory analyses on meta-analytic findings were conducted to identify their associated mental functions and examine their degree of overlap with brain lesion associated with aggression. A total of 92 experiments were included in the meta-analysis (N=2593, mean age=26.2, 68.5% males). General aggression was characterized by reduced grey matter volume (GMV) in the medial prefrontal cortex. Reactive aggression was associated with reduced GMV in the rostral medial prefrontal cortex, and bilateral superior temporal gyrus, and proactive aggression with greater GMV in the ventral caudate. Co-activation brain networks of these morphological correlates further distinguished reactive and proactive into socio-affective/somatosensory and motivational processes, respectively. We also found that the medial prefrontal cortex cluster of general aggression was a primary site in which focal brain lesion may increase the risk for aggression. The current study highlight that functions of aggression are associated with distinct abnormalities in grey matter volume. These findings add to the growing body of literature suggesting potentially distinct aetiologies between aggression motives.

揭示人类攻击行为的大脑形态结构:结构神经成像研究的系统回顾和荟萃分析
攻击行为是一个统称,指意图伤害他人的行为。然而,攻击行为在形式(如身体、语言)和功能(如主动、被动)上各不相同。最近的研究结果表明,动机和形式都可能与不同的大脑结构有关。然而,还没有研究对它们的共性和差异进行元分析总结。我们使用 PubMed、Google Scholar 和 Web of Science 进行了系统性检索,检索期截至 2023 年 5 月 1 日。使用基于种子的 d 映射与受试者图像的迭代对基于体素的形态计量学研究进行元分析。对元分析结果进行了探索性分析,以确定其相关的心理功能,并检查其与攻击性相关脑损伤的重叠程度。共有 92 项实验被纳入元分析(N=2593,平均年龄=26.2,68.5% 为男性)。一般攻击行为的特征是内侧前额叶皮层灰质体积(GMV)减少。反应性攻击与喙内侧前额叶皮层和双侧颞上回的灰质体积减少有关,而主动性攻击则与尾状核腹侧的灰质体积增大有关。这些形态相关性的共同激活脑网络进一步将反应性和主动性分别区分为社会情感/共感觉过程和动机过程。我们还发现,内侧前额叶皮层的一般攻击行为群是局灶性脑损伤可能增加攻击行为风险的主要部位。目前的研究强调,攻击功能与灰质体积的明显异常有关。越来越多的文献表明,攻击动机之间可能存在不同的病因。

期刊介绍: Aggression and Violent Behavior, A Review Journal is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes substantive and integrative reviews, as well as summary reports of innovative ongoing clinical research programs on a wide range of topics germane to the field of aggression and violent behavior. Papers encompass a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including homicide (serial, spree, and mass murder: sexual homicide), sexual deviance and assault (rape, serial rape, child molestation, paraphilias), child and youth violence (firesetting, gang violence, juvenile sexual offending), family violence (child physical and sexual abuse, child neglect, incest, spouse and elder abuse), genetic predispositions, and the physiological basis of aggression.
