Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lower than normal serotonin turnover has been linked to impulsive and aggressive behavior, which are risk factors for repeat offending. Surgical removal of the amygdala may also lead to aggression, but this is not a common procedure and it is unlikely that many of Dr. Penland's patients have undergone it. Eating a diet low in corn or having higher than normal dopamine turnover have not been specifically linked to increased risk of repeat offending.
