“…The polymorphism rs6609257, located 6.6 kb downstream of the MAOA gene, impacts the link between working memory and aggressive behavior and is associated with altered brain activity in a network of frontal, parietal and occipital cortex (Ziermans et al, 2012). Finally, the polymorphism rs2235186 has been linked to variations in anger control, aggression, and empathy (Yan et al, 2012;Atramentova and Luchko, 2016).…”

“…[12][13][14][15][16] As shown by our previous studies, the Ukrainian population is polymorphic by the taste sensitivity 17 and is characterized by a peculiar sexual dimorphism and unique distribution of a number of behavioral characteristics. 18,19 It is expedient to study the possible effects of different factors, in particular the effect of essential oils, on cognitive features of the Ukrainian population previously unstudied in this respect. The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of the essential oils of lavender and rosemary on characteristics of short-term image and numerical memory of secondary school students living in the modern Ukrainian cities.…”

The research results of the effect of essential oils on the human short-term image and numerical memory have been described. The study involved 79 secondary school students (34 boys and 45 girls) aged 13 to 17 years, residents of the Ukrainian metropolis. Participants were divided into three groups: the control group, ''Lavender" group, in which the lavender essential oil was sprayed, and ''Rosemary" group, in which the rosemary essential oil was sprayed. The statistically significant differences in productivity of the short-term memory of the participants of different groups have been found. Therefore, the essential oils of rosemary and lavender have significantly increased the image memory compared to the control. Inhalation of the rosemary essential oil increased the memorization of numbers, and inhalation of the lavender essential oil weakened this process.

“…However, the notion that low MAO-A promotes aggression via the singular effect of augmented dopamine is not supported by data. Indeed, many studies support the role of the MAO-A gene as a prominent genetic determinant for criminal violence [87][88][89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101].…”

Scientific studies have provided evidence that there is a relationship between violent and aggressive behaviors and addictions. Genes involved with the reward system, specifically the brain reward cascade (BRC), appear to be associated with various addictions and impulsive, aggressive, and violent behaviors. In our previous research, we examined the Taq A1 allele (variant D2 dopamine receptor gene) and the DAT-40 base repeat (a variant of the dopamine transporter gene) in 11 Caucasian boys at the Brown School in San Marcus, Texas, diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder. Thirty supernormal controls were screened to exclude several reward–deficit behaviors, including pathological violence, and genotyped for the DRD2 gene. Additionally, 91 controls were screened to exclude ADHD, pathological violence, alcoholism, drug dependence, and tobacco abuse, and their results were compared with DAT1 genotype results. In the schoolboys vs. supercontrols, there was a significant association with the D2 variant and a trend with the dopamine transporter variant. Results support our hypothesis and the involvement of at least two gene risk alleles with adolescent violent/aggressive behaviors. This study and the research presented in this paper suggest that violent/aggressive behaviors are associated with a greater risk of addiction, mediated via various genes linked to the BRC. This review provides a contributory analysis of how gene polymorphisms, especially those related to the brain reward circuitry, are associated with violent behaviors.
