攻击性是一种与生俱来的行为，有助于个体在资源有限的环境中取得成功。在过去的几十年里，神经生物学家已经确定了促进和调节攻击性的神经回路;然而，对于驱动攻击性的动机过程知之甚少。最近的研究表明，攻击性可以激活大脑的奖励中心，以促进积极的效价。在这里，我们回顾了最近的主要研究结果有关的神经回路，调节侵略性，重点是那些地区参与奖励或加强侵略性行为的属性。
Aggression is an innate behavior that helps individuals succeed in environments with limited resources. Over the past few decades, neurobiologists have identified neural circuits that promote and modulate aggression; however, far less is known regarding the motivational processes that drive aggression. Recent research suggests that aggression can activate reward centers in the brain to promote positive valence. Here, we review major recent findings regarding neural circuits that regulate aggression, with an emphasis on those regions involved in the rewarding or reinforcing properties of aggressive behavior.
