The impact of neuro-biological factors in the genesis of violence II - neuro-anatomical and neuro-functinal aspects
No full textNeurobiology of violence and aggression is poorly understood. Case reports on patients with brain injuries, studies on controls as well as on criminals helped to illustrate the impact of in particular frontal and temporal brain regions on aggression. The following article gives an overview on recent findings on neuro-anotomical underpinnings and neuro-functional changes in aggressive behavior. Finally, a neuro-biological perspective on therapy and prevention of aggressive behaviour is given
The impact of neuro-biological factors in the genesis of violence I - Genetical and neuro-chemical aspects
No full textThe neurobiology of violence and aggression is poorly understood. A lot of neurochemical, neuroanatomical and neurofunctional factors have been described to be involved in the genesis of violence. Most of the results are heterogeneous, others have been replicated. The following a tide gives an overview on recent neurobiological findings on violence and aggression. In particular, neurochemical findings and genetical influences on aggressive behaviour are outlined. In the following chapter, a neurobiological approach on violence is given knowing very well that the conditions of violence are multifactorial and that neurobiology is just one part of the influencing factors of aggression
Forensic psychiatry in the era of neuroscience. Present status and outlook for neurobiological research
No full textProgress in neurobiological research has influenced our view of human beings and the basics of their behavior. Regarding criminal law and forensic psychiatry, established codes of practice are being challenged by neuroscientific research. This article gives an overview of neurobiological findings and methods in the context of forensic psychiatric issues. Empirical approaches to addressing important legal questions are outlined. Principles behind forensic psychiatric expert opinions are given. The effect and future of neuroscientific findings and methods in answering forensic psychiatric questions are discussed. Limitations and legal and ethical requirements are addressed
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
