| description | Human aggression/impulsivity-related traits are
influenced by complex genetic and non-genetic factors.
The aggression/anxiety relationship is controlled by
highly conserved brain regions including the amygdala,
hypothalamus and periaqueductal gray of the midbrain,
which is responsible for neural circuits triggering defensive,
aggressive, or avoidant behavioral models. The social
behavior network consists of the medial amygdala, medial
hypothalamus and periaqueductal gray, and it positively
modulates reactive aggression. An important role in the
incidence of aggressive behavior is played by secreted
factors such as testosterone, glucocorticoids, pheromones,
as well as by expression of genes such as neuroligin-2,
monoamine oxidase A, serotonin transporters, etc.
The authors deliberate whether aggression in sport is
advantageous (or even indispensable), or to what extent
it can hamper attainment of sport success. Methods
of reducing and inhibiting expression of aggression in
athletes are indicated. |
