Unpacking Antisocial and Aggressive Behaviour: Linking Phenotypes to Brain Networks

Antisocial and aggressive behaviour is a major public health problem. Data from across the globe have shown that a small group of individuals exhibit lifelong physical aggression and antisocial behaviour, accounting for most of the violent crimes committed in society. In this talk, I will first describe different subtypes of aggression and, using a psychiatric framework, introduce various disorders observed in youths and adults who display antisocial and aggressive behaviour. I will then discuss new structural and functional neuroimaging data, focusing on aggression and these disorders. I will conclude by highlighting the benefits of recent developments in normative network mapping, which can be validated using a multilevel approach encompassing psychological, neuropsychological, genetic, and neurochemical data.
