Resumen
La regulación defectuosa de las emociones en el cerebro, influenciada por la genética y el medio ambiente, está relacionada con la agresión impulsiva y la violencia. Las vías de serotonina disfuncionales en la corteza prefrontal pueden aumentar este riesgo.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La neurociencia es la neurociencia.
- La psiquiatría es la psiquiatría.
- Ciencias del comportamiento Ciencias del comportamiento.
Sus antecedentes:
- La regulación de las emociones implica un circuito cerebral complejo que incluye la corteza frontal orbital, la amígdala y la corteza cingulada anterior.
- Tanto los factores genéticos como los ambientales influyen en el desarrollo y la función de este circuito neuronal.
- Se supone que la regulación emocional deteriorada subyace a la agresión impulsiva y la violencia.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para explorar las bases neuronales de la regulación defectuosa de las emociones.
- Para investigar el vínculo entre las proyecciones serotoninérgicas de la corteza prefrontal y la violencia impulsiva.
- Identificar posibles objetivos de intervención para las poblaciones en riesgo.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de la investigación existente sobre los circuitos de regulación de las emociones.
- Análisis de hallazgos neurobiológicos relacionados con la agresión y la violencia.
- Examen del papel de las vías serotoninérgicas en la corteza prefrontal.
Principales resultados:
- Los circuitos disfuncionales de regulación de las emociones, particularmente los que involucran a la corteza prefrontal, se asocian con la agresión impulsiva.
- Se observan alteraciones en las proyecciones serotoninérgicas a la corteza prefrontal en individuos con violencia impulsiva.
- La vulnerabilidad a una regulación defectuosa de las emociones negativas aumenta el riesgo de comportamiento agresivo.
Conclusiones:
- La regulación defectuosa de las emociones es un factor clave que contribuye a la agresión impulsiva y la violencia.
- El sistema serotoninérgico en la corteza prefrontal juega un papel crítico en la modulación del comportamiento impulsivo.
- Comprender el circuito neuronal de la regulación de las emociones ofrece nuevas vías para la intervención en individuos en riesgo.

01:47Aggression
Humans engage in aggression when they seek to cause harm or pain to another person. Aggression takes two forms depending on one’s motives: hostile or instrumental. Hostile aggression is motivated by feelings of anger with intent to cause pain; a fight in a bar with a stranger is an example of hostile aggression. In contrast, instrumental aggression is motivated by achieving a goal and does not necessarily involve intent to cause pain (Berkowitz, 1993); a contract killer who murders for hire...
02:04Bullying
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is bullying.
01:28Disorders of the Nervous Tissue
Nervous tissue is a vital component of the human body's communication system, enabling us to perceive and respond to stimuli. However, like all other tissues, it is vulnerable to disorders and diseases that can significantly impact our neurological functioning.

01:18Disorders of the Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is an intricate network of nerves that controls functions such as the regulation of heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure regulation. When this system malfunctions, it can lead to various disorders that affect multiple bodily functions. One common feature of many autonomic disorders is the involvement of smooth blood vessels, which play a crucial role in regulating blood flow throughout the body.

01:20Physiology of Emotion
The physiology of emotions is a multifaceted process involving the autonomic nervous system, brain structures, hormones, and neurotransmitters. This intricate interplay dictates how emotions manifest in the body and influence behavior.
Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a critical role in emotional responses by regulating involuntary physiological functions. It consists of two main components: the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The sympathetic system...

01:25Self-Regulation
Self-regulation, also known as self-control, encompasses a range of cognitive and behavioral processes that allow individuals to adjust their internal states and outward actions to align with socially acceptable norms and long-term goals. It plays a fundamental role in adaptive functioning, from resisting impulsive behaviors to persisting through challenging tasks. While its benefits are widely recognized, self-regulation is not limitless. Muraven and Baumeister's theory posits that...
