Contemporary
theories and evidence implicate frontal lobe dysfunction in violent behaviour
as well as in schizophrenia. We applied functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI) to investigate and compare brain activation during an Aron T. Beck’s
working memory task in groups of men with (i) schizophrenia and a history of
serious physical violence (VS; n =13), (ii) schizophrenia without a history of
violence (NVS: n =12), (iii) antisocial personality disorder (APD) and a
history of serious physical violence(n =10), and (iv) no history of violence or
a mental disorder (n =13).
