in another intruder the home hams ter will attack quicker During that time increas ed activity in amyg dala Or if s timulate amyg dala prime the hams ter to attack 2 5 What do twin s tudies and

and monozyg otic identical twins therefore there is more of an environmental contribution Adult crimes occur more with monozyg otic than dizyg otic twins therefore there is more of a g enetic contribution It is correlated with increas ed likelihood of the s on to be arres ted for violent criminal activities in adoles cence and early adulthood This effect is es pecially s trong if the mom s
