Sex differences in appetitive and reactive aggression
from Springer Nature · host Springer Nature
Maladaptive aggression, while not a diagnosable neuropsychiatric disorder on its own, often presents as an important comorbid condition with other neuropsychiatric disorders. But while both men and women can and do display aggression, there’s been a bias to thinking of aggression, in both its adaptive and maladaptive forms, as a male behavior. Sam Golden is an assistant professor at the University of Washington in the department of biological structure and also has an appointment in the Center for Excellence in the Neurobiology of Addiction, Pain, and Emotion. He’s one of the authors of a recent study on aggression in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology. Read the full study here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41386-022-01375-5
