at least three risk factors to their offspring: antisocial
biological fathers (because of assortative mating), prenatal exposure to nicotine, and coercive (hostile) parenting style.43 The most common trajectories followed by female offenders tend to increase the odds that their
children will follow in their footsteps.

had been categorized as behaviorally inhibited
at the age of 2 years exhibited a higher amygdala activation in response to unknown vs familiar faces16 compared with adults who were uninhibited as
children, consistent with the notion that novel or ambiguous environmental stimuli of potential
biological relevance activate the amygdala.17 Turning to genes that can influence the neurobiological bases of the processing of emotions, 2 common alleles, the short (S) and the long (L), in a variable repeat sequence of the serotonin transporter (5 - HTT) promoter polymorphism (5 - HTTLPR) on human chromosome 17q11
have been differently associated with greater amygdala activity in response to angry or fearful faces18 in healthy adults.
