C05: The neuroanatomical underpinnings of clinical aggression and their relationship with the negative valence and cognitive control systems

Link questionnaire measures of aggression to specific neural substrates using structural MRI. The resulting patterns of aggression-related neuroanatomical variability will be co- registered with the Allen Human Brain Atlas providing gene-expression data, to highlight genes with a spatial pattern of expression that matches the neuroimaging findings. Utilizing the neurotypical control data, a normative model of neuroanatomical diversity within the NVS and CS will be established to quantify neuroanatomical abnormalities within these systems in individual cases
