“…The mechanism underlying the association between PD duration and propensity for anger remains unclear. A previous study reported that longer PD duration correlates with smaller pituitary volume, which could be caused by chronic activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis [ 13 ]. The pituitary gland secretes oxytocin, which has been found to reduce individuals’ feelings of anger towards people who have betrayed them, likely by strengthening these individuals’ understanding and acceptance of the reason that they had been betrayed [ 14 ].…”

“…A study on the pituitary volume in PD has shown the pituitary volume to be much smaller in PD patients with A compared to those without. The same study found a negative relationship between PD severity and pituitary volume 26. Another study that used Single-Positron Emission Tomography (SPECT) to evaluate regional cerebral blood flow in PD showed that there was a statistically significant decrease in blood flow in the right occipital region and an increased blood flow in the right superior temporal region in the PD with A patients compared to those without A 27.…”

“…With regard to subcortical structures, Kartalci et al[46] reported that 27 patients with PD had significantly smaller pituitary volumes compared to 27 healthy subjects. In particular, patients with agoraphobia had a significantly smaller pituitary volume than patients without agoraphobia.…”
