Impulsive aggression may reflect ________, which can be treated with ________.
A) overactivity of prefrontal neurons; fluoxetine
B) amygdaloid damage; GABA releasers
C) impaired serotonin prefrontal activity; fluoxetine
D) serotonin hypothalamic activity; fluoxetine
E) amygdaloid damage; glutamate releasers

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Impulsive aggression has been associated with impaired serotonin prefrontal activity, which can be treated with fluoxetine, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Option A is incorrect because overactivity of prefrontal neurons is not associated with impulsive aggression. Option B is incorrect because amygdaloid damage is more likely to result in blunted emotional responses rather than impulsive aggression. Option D is also incorrect because serotonin hypothalamic activity has not been strongly associated with impulsive aggression. Option E is incorrect because glutamate has not been shown to have a strong impact on serotonin levels or prefrontal activity.
