Two groups of the so-called “warrior” genotype, MAOA uVNTR polymorphism were selected.
Dopamine release during violent movie content was analyzed vs. provoked aggression.
The MAOA-groups showed inversed changes of aggression after violent movie perception.
Dopamine release was also inversely regulated between genetic groups.
No support for simple dopaminergic pathways of aggression driven by MAOA-activity.
