AO1 (Description)
& AO2 (links to Bob) answer plan
Amygdala
2 of them
medial temporal, subcortical
primitive = detect threat - guard dog/fight or flight ➡️ kill or be killed (CB)
Dysfunction
Overactive - initiates primitive response to minor or non threatening situations - resulting in ‘attack’/form defence
Bob lashes out when he is looked at, which results in him receiving a criminal record.
IED (define it) can be used to explain CB
Bob may have IED ➡️ bursts of uncontrollable rage ➡️ aggressive leading to CB
E.g. Coccaro ➡️ IED findings
Similar to those findings Bobs amygdala may over react to him being looked at the wrong way in a real life setting which resulted in his criminal record.
Under active = extension
Genes
We could inherit criminal behaviour from one or more gene (poly gene).
Bob may have inherited his criminal nature from family members such as parents/grandparents who may display aggressive/criminal behaviours.
Candidate genes:
MAOA (warrior gens) ➡️ controls MAOA enzyme ➡️ regulates serotonin = mood stabiliser
Detective (inherited) ➡️ abnormal
MAOA enzyme ➡️ abnormal serotonin ➡️ unregulated mood ➡️ aggression
Bob may have inherited a defective MAOA gene, which would mean he cannot regulate his mood resulting in him ‘lashing out’.
CDH13 - linked to impulse control
Bob lacks control when looked at the wrong way which results in impulsive behaviour of lashing out, suggesting the role of this gene.
CB is often a combination
Bob may have inherited both genes.
