Brain lesion theory
Brain lesion theory generally refers to the theory that brain tumors and seizures are associated with aggressive and/or violent behavior.[1]
The theory states that people with damage or lesions to the ventromedial pre-frontal cortex are more inclined to display sociopathic behavior.[2]
