NEW YORK (Reuters Health) May 29 –
Scientists have tied dysfunction in a particular brain region to a psychiatric disorder marked by uncontrolled aggression.
The current findings extend the link that has been reported between the orbital/medial prefrontal cortex circuit (OMPCC) and impulsive aggression.
The researchers studied 24 patients diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder (IED). Considered an impulse-control disorder, IED is marked by outbursts of anger that far outweigh the provocation and that lead to aggressive or destructive acts.
