| | Brain Scans Draw A Dark Image Of The Violent Mind |
 | | Specifically, many violent impulses seem to arise in the amygdala, hypothalamus and periaquaductal gray area of the brain, said Allan Siegel, a neuroscientist who studies cats at the New Jersey Medical School in Newark. |
 | | In fact, he said, different parts of the hypothalamus, at least in cats, are involved in different types of violence - the cold, premeditated type (such as stalking prey) and impulsive acts of rage. |
 | | Violent images activate a region called Brodmann area 10, she said, while pleasant images activate Brodmann area 32. |
