Brain research tries to identify neuronal correlates of cognition, emotion and behaviour. Research on the neurobiological factors associated with impulsive and aggressive behaviour is just one example of the endeavour to match neurotransmitter systems and brain-activation patterns with complex behaviour patterns. However, models of so-called “antisocial” and aggressive behaviour are often based on historical, and even pre-scientific, assumptions about socially adequate behaviour and its individual, social and religious underpinnings. We have to assess the link between neurobiological research on impulsive aggression to metaphorical constructions of social evil.
