We don’t have today drugs specifically registered for amygdala dysfunctions as preventable agents towards some kind of crime behavior. This Neuro psychiatric condition or organ state are to be considered and treated in preventive way as common disease.
There is an amygdala physio-pathological Level of activation. Still we are not sure to call this dysfunctions status as disease and drugs are needed or efficacy to control it. A neuro-pharmacology research of amygdala can give the response also using imaging Techniques. Studies demonstrated that Amygdala activation is involved in aggressive behavior. The aim of this work is to investigate in this relationship and to find if there is a level of activation.
