Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The orbitofrontal cortex is involved in decision-making, emotion regulation, and social behavior, and damage to this area has been associated with impulsive and violent behavior. Damage to the hippocampus (involved in memory formation), the fornix (involved in communication between the hippocampus and other brain regions), and the fusiform gyrus (involved in face recognition) may not necessarily be associated with human violence.
