Aggression is a highly conserved behavioral adaptation that evolved
to help org- isms compete for limited resources and thereby ensure
their survival. However, in modern societies where resources such
as food, shelter, etc. are not limiting, aggr- sion has become a
major cultural problem worldwide presumably because of its deep
seeded roots in the neuronal circuits and neurochemical pathways of
the human brain. In Neurobiology of Aggression: Understanding and
Preventing Violence, leading experts in the fields of the
neurobiology, neurochemistry, genetics, and behavioral and cultural
aspects of aggression and violence provide a comprehensive
collection of review articles on one of the most important
cross-disciplinary issues of our time. Rather than summarize the
topics covered by each author in each chapter, I present a
schematic diagram to guide the reader in thinking about different
aspects of aggr- sive and violent behavior from its neurobiological
roots to environmental factors that can either promote or prevent
aggression to visions of some of the most horrific acts of violence
of our times, and then towards the development of strategies to
reduce aggressive behavior and prevent violence. It is hoped that
Neurobiology of Aggression: Understanding and Preventing V- lence
will foster further research aimed at understanding the
environmental genetic and neurochemical roots of aggression and how
such information can be used to move forward towards the goal of
eliminating violence.
