A research project funded by NIAAA to investigate the neurobiological links between alcohol misuse and violence, focusing on gene-environment interactions for prevention and treatment targets.
Description
This project aims to study the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the comorbidity of alcohol misuse and pathological aggression. It focuses on gene-environment interactions, particularly involving low-activity alleles of the MAOA gene and child maltreatment, to identify potential targets for prevention and treatment of alcohol-associated violence.
