Abstract
Violent behavior is reviewed in regard to its relationship with genetic, hormonal, neurochemical, electrical, substance abuse, and psychiatric factors. The most significant relationships were found between violent behavior and the neurotransmitter serotonin. Suggestive associations were found between violent acts and testosterone serum levels, epilepsy, and episodic dyscontrol.
