Objective and method: An overview on neurobiological findings of violence is given: We present 1. neurochemical findings, 2. genetical aspects, 3. neuroanatomical correlates and 4. a functional network of violence. Even if specific neurobiological findings have not been found, impulsive violence is closely linked to serotonergic function and to several brain regions: orbitofrontal cortex, temporale lobe, amygdala. Knowing that violence has multifactorial determinants, a model on the neurobiological findings on violence is given. Thus, neurobiology is just an important part of conditions correlated with violence.
