The impact of posterior cingulate and dorsal lateral connectivity on aggression

This study investigates the impact of functional connectivity between the posterior cingulate (PCC), a key node of the default mode network of the brain, and the dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a key node of the central executive network in a sample of 48 unrelated male brains. Results indicate that weakened connectivity between the right PCC and the right DLPFC were linked to aggression. The implication of these findings is discussed in the context of current findings and future research.
