“…The results have shown a sustained reduction between 60 and 80% of the aggressive behavior of the patients. Recently, in other communication, we have been able to observe that the combined lesion of the lateral hypothalamus and the lateral and central nuclei of the amygdala on the "dominant" side can reduce aggressive behavior very efficiently compared to other more extensive procedures such as the one previously mentioned 25,26 . The left hemisphere is "dominant" for language, and the control of the right hemibody performs fine movements such as writing.…”

Frequently, aggressiveness and violence are used as synonymous. However, these are two complex and different phenomena that scientists and philosophers have studied. In this paper, we make a difference between aggressiveness and violence. Aggressiveness must be considered utilitarian behavior that harms or destroys objects or subjects. Aggressiveness is a primitive way to conduct, and here, we discuss anatomic and functional encephalic systems. This involuntary and instinctive behavior is triggered when the animal is required to hunt a press, defend its territory when young, or compete for a mate for reproductive purposes. The aggressiveness will be violence when it pursues a social, political, economic, or criminal goal. A violent or aggressive act is not distinguished by the outcome but by intentionality. Indeed, a violent action could have the same material consequences as an aggressive act with a different goal. Aggression-violence is a biological phenomenon and the result of culture, societal life, political relations, and current moral conditions. We often tend to simplify the phenomena, and we have discussed aggressiveness-violence, but there are also other phenomena, such as empathy and mirror behavior. Empathy, compassion, and affection should be studied alongside the aggressive-violent process.
