RESUMEN

La conducta agresiva y la violencia son dos fenómenos que guardan estrecha interrelación, en cuya regulación intervienen diversas estructuras que forman parte del sistema nervioso, destacándose la participación de la amígdala cerebral y el lóbulo frontal. Se han desarrollado numerosas teorías que tratan de explicar la génesis de estos fenómenos, aceptándose por la comunidad neurocientífica actual aquellas que interrelacionan los elementos sociales, biológicos y genéticos y en las cuales el funcionamiento cerebral desempeña un papel importante. A manera de complemento y como elementos demostrativos del papel que pueden jugar las alteraciones cerebrales estructurales o funcionales del cerebro en cambios en la conducta y la aparición de patrones de agresividad y violencia, se ilustran casos reportados por la literatura internacional de pacientes con lesiones cerebrales en la adultez o durante la infancia.
