摘要

The close relationship between sex and violence has been an enduring theme in literature, theatre and music since the dawn of civilized' culture. A particularly graphic depiction of the connection can be found in Anthony Burgess's book A Clockwork Orange, which famously mixes the two in a melange of 'ultraviolence'. Although fascinating, the intertwined nature of these two opposites of social interaction and the underlying neurobiological basis have remained a puzzle. On page 221 of this issue, Lin and colleagues1 identify some of the basic circuitry for these behaviours in the hypothalamus - a primitive part of the brain that has been highly conserved throughout mammalian evolution. It has long been known2 that, in cats, electrical stimulation in certain regions of the hypothalamus elicits attack behaviour. Studies3'4 in rats have also identified a network of brain sites in which stimulation can produce aggression, including the ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH).
