Do children with aggressive behavior have temporal lobe changes?.

Article N° AJ19-3

 

 

Conclusion


Increased perfusion to the temporal lobes is significant because it has been reported that altered perfusion in the temporal lobes can be an indication of aggressive behavior.

These findings support the proposition that brain SPECT may be useful in categorizing functional problems in the brain. This can help in the early diagnosis and timely, appropriate treatment of behavioral problems. A dual window 3D display is well suited to identifying and localizing cortical or subcortical regions of increased perfusion.
