Abstract

The results of investigations of genetic and environmental factors role in variability of aggression have considered. The review of contemporary ideas about genetic determination of aggressive behavior in human and animals have presented. It’s demonstrated that the genetic regulation of aggressive behavior is controlled by the monoamine systems of the brain. The experimental results of functional regulation of monoamine genes expression research based on the use of etology model are given. The conclusion about influence of gene polymorphism on inclined to aggression and dependence monoamine genes transcription activity from the experience of aggression and wins have been made on the base of the data review.
