• #1 A Systematic Review of the Etiology and Neurobiology of Intermittent Explosive Disorder – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39314952/

  Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is characterized by repeated inability to control aggressive impulses. […] Our findings highlight a multifactorial etiology and neurobiology of IED, emphasizing the role of the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex in emotional regulation and impulse control, and supporting interventions that target serotonergic signaling. […] Research also shows that childhood trauma and adverse family environment may significantly contribute to the development of IED. […] Yet, genetic studies focusing on IED were largely lacking, despite many examining the genetics underlying aggression as a general trait or other related disorders. […] Future research using consistently defined IED as a phenotype is required to better understand the etiology and underlying mechanisms and assist in informing the development of more effective interventions for IED.

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/intermittent-explosive-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20373921

  Intermittent explosive disorder can begin in childhood after the age of 6 years or during the teenage years. It’s more common in younger adults than in older adults. The exact cause of the disorder is not known. It may be caused by the living environment and learned behaviors, genetics, or differences in the brain. […] There may be differences in the structure, function and chemistry of the brain in people with intermittent explosive disorder compared with that of the brains of people who do not have the disorder.

• #4 Intermittent Explosive Disorder: Symptoms & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17786-intermittent-explosive-disorder

  Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is a mental health condition marked by frequent impulsive anger outbursts or aggression. The episodes are out of proportion to the situation that triggered them and cause significant distress. […] Researchers are still trying to discover the exact cause of intermittent explosive disorder, but they think genetic, biological and environmental factors contribute to its development: […] Studies show that brain structure and function are altered in IED. For example, brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies suggest that it affects the amygdala, which is the part of your brain involved in emotional functioning. In addition, studies show that the level of serotonin (a neurotransmitter and hormone) is lower than normal in people with IED. […] Cognitive therapy and medication can successfully manage IED. However, according to studies, IED appears to be a long-term condition, lasting from 12 to 20 years or even a lifetime.

• #5 Intermittent explosive disorder | MedLink Neurology

  https://www.medlink.com/articles/intermittent-explosive-disorder

  Individuals with intermittent explosive disorder display a reduction in gray matter volume in fronto-limbic circuits, abnormalities in the shape of the amygdala and hippocampus, and reduced fractional anisotropy in the superior longitudinal fasciculus, all suggesting important structural deficits in critical emotion regulating areas of the brain. […] Despite the possibility of a smaller, less smooth amygdala, functional fMRI studies note hyperactivity of the amygdala to hostile social threat in intermittent explosive disorder compared with healthy controls, with either unchanged or reduced activation of prefrontal cortical regions. […] Additionally, there have been several biological processes that have been noted to exist in those with intermittent explosive disorder, including associations between circulating inflammatory cytokines and aggression in human studies.

• #6 White Matter Integrity Reductions in Intermittent Explosive Disorder | Neuropsychopharmacology

  https://www.nature.com/articles/npp201674

  Intermittent explosive disorder (IED), as described in DSM-5, is the categorical expression of pathological impulsive aggression. […] Given the importance of short- and-long range white matter connections of the brain in social and emotional behavior, studies of white matter connectivity in impulsive aggression are warranted. […] IED was associated with lower white matter integrity in long-range connections between the frontal and temporoparietal regions. […] Thus, evidence to date implicates dysfunction in neural circuits mediating emotional behavior and executive function that rely on brain networks with hubs in both the cortical and subcortical structures. […] The finding of white matter abnormalities in the SLF in IED is somewhat unexpected but intriguing. […] In summary, we provide for the first time evidence for subtle disruption of the long-range white matter tracks connecting the parietal and temporal lobes to the frontal cortex in IED. These disruptions have some specificity for IED, as FA in the regions of the SLF identified with voxelwise analysis is lower in IED compared with psychiatric controls.

• #7 Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) – PsychDB

  https://www.psychdb.com/child/disruptive-impulsive/ied

  Serotonergic changes in the limbic system (anterior cingulate) and orbitofrontal cortex are seen in IED. […] On fMRI, the amygdala responses to anger stimuli are greater in individuals with IED.

• #8 A Primer on Intermittent Explosive Disorder – Psychiatry Advisor

  https://www.psychiatryadvisor.com/features/a-primer-on-intermittent-explosive-disorder/

  Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is characterized by recurrent, problematic, impulsive aggression. […] The core behavior in IED is impulsive aggression, which is modulated by limbic brain structure especially the amygdala and hippocampus. […] A recent study using high resolution structural 3T magnetic resonance (MR) scans found that IED was associated with localized, inwardly directed deformation in both the amygdala and hippocampus and significant loss of neurons in these brain regions. The authors concluded that these changes may play a role in the functional abnormalities observed in previous fMRI studies and the pathophysiology of impulsive aggressive behavior. Additionally, some studies suggest that individuals with IED have altered serotonin function, compared to individuals without IED.

• #9 Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED): Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment

  https://laopcenter.com/mental-health/intermittent-explosive-disorder-ied/

  The causes of IED are genetic predispositions, environmental influences such as childhood trauma or abuse, and neurobiological factors like low serotonin levels. Approximately 72% of individuals diagnosed with IED have a family history of the disorder, suggesting a genetic component to its development, according to Coccaro EF et al.s 2016 study. A Family History Study of Intermittent Explosive Disorder published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research. […] […] Biological Factors: Neurotransmitter imbalances, particularly involving serotonin, play a crucial role in IEDs. Abnormalities in brain areas responsible for impulse control and aggression regulation lead to the disorders characteristic impulsive behaviors. Individuals with IED have lower gray matter volume in critical frontolimbic regions, including the orbitofrontal cortex, ventral medial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, amygdala, insula, and uncus. This reduction was confirmed in a study involving 168 subjects (57 with IED, 53 healthy controls, and 58 psychiatric controls) using high-resolution MRI scans, according to Coccaro EF, et als 2016 study titled, Frontolimbic Morphometric Abnormalities in Intermittent Explosive Disorder and Aggression published in the Journal of Biological Psychiatry. Individuals with IEDs exhibit differences in brain structure and function compared to those without the disorder. […] […] IED is a complex disorder with various contributing factors. While genetics and brain chemistry play a role, environmental influences also impact the disorders development. Understanding these factors helps in the early detection and effective treatment of IEDs.

  Also associated with impulse control behaviors is suboptimal functioning of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). […] When it is not working properly or there’s poor blood flow to this area of the brain, it’s harder for your brain to put the brakes on behavior. […] Imaging studies have found that damage to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) can contribute to anger problems. […] Other studies have found a predisposition of anger is associated with an elevated amygdala response, as well as larger amygdala volume. […] Interestingly, individuals with IED tend to have lower levels of the feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin, according to research published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology. […] Additional research from the University of Cambridge indicates that lower serotonin levels are associated with poor impulse control and aggressive behavior.

• #13 Intermittent Explosive Disorder

  https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/intermittent-explosive-disorder

  Other recent research indicates that criteria for IED best identifies a group of individuals with robust differences in clinical characteristics, neurobiological findings, and documented responsiveness to treatment. […] Neurobiological studies clearly show a bio-behavioral relationship between aggression and select brain chemicals, such as serotonin. Persons with IED are reported to have altered serotonin function compared with persons without IED, as evidenced by a reduction in the number of platelet serotonin transporters or in the magnitude of the prolactin response to the serotonin agent fenfluramine. […] A factor tying many of these conditions (eg, coronary heart disease, stroke, arthritis, ulcer) together may be abnormalities of immune function. A study found that levels of plasma inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein [CRP] and interleukin-6 [IL-6]) were higher in individuals with IED than in psychiatric and healthy controls.

• #14 Intermittent explosive disorder – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_explosive_disorder

  Impulsive behavior, and especially impulsive violence predisposition, have been correlated to a low brain serotonin turnover rate, indicated by a low concentration of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This substrate appears to act on the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the hypothalamus, which is the target for serotonergic output from the dorsal and median raphe nuclei playing a role in maintaining the circadian rhythm and regulation of blood sugar. A tendency towards low 5-HIAA may be hereditary. A putative hereditary component to low CSF 5-HIAA and concordantly possibly to impulsive violence has been proposed. Other traits that correlate with IED are low vagal tone and increased insulin secretion. A suggested explanation for IED is a polymorphism of the gene for tryptophan hydroxylase, which produces a serotonin precursor; this genotype is found more commonly in individuals with impulsive behavior.[7]

• #15 Intermittent explosive disorder | MedLink Neurology

  https://www.medlink.com/articles/intermittent-explosive-disorder

  It has been reported that the circulating levels of inflammatory cytokines such as C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and interleukin-1RAII protein are higher in those with intermittent explosive disorder compared with healthy and psychiatric controls. […] Interestingly, one of the top genes associated with intermittent explosive disorder, CPLX2, is highly expressed in the brain and associated with cognitive impairment in schizophrenic patients.

• #16 A Systematic Review of the Etiology and Neurobiology of Intermittent Explosive Disorder | medRxiv

  https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.09.12.24313573v1.full-text

  While studies examining the genetic basis for IED are limited, clinical observations and family history data suggest that IED is a heritable condition. […] The research into the relationship between early life experiences, family environment, and IED suggests that there is a significant link between adverse childhood events, such as trauma, abuse, and neglect, and the later development of IED. […] These findings highlight the importance of early life experiences on the development of psychological disorders such as IED. […] Socioeconomic status emerges as another critical risk factor for exposure to trauma, with lower socioeconomic backgrounds being more prone to traumatic events. […] Gene and environmental interactions have also been supported by twin and adoption studies as well as GWAS studies of broadly defined aggressive behavior or related disorders.

• #17 Intermittent Explosive Disorder

  https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/intermittent-explosive-disorder

  A recent family history study reported that first-degree relatives of individuals with IED (probands) have about a 34% chance of also having IED compared with about 10% in controls. […] IED appears in childhood and peaks in adolescence: studies of adults report the mean age of onset as the mid-teens; studies of adolescents report the mean age of onset at about 12 years. […] Clinical studies suggest significant comorbidity of IED with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and substance use disorders. In each case, with the exception of phobic anxiety disorders, the age of onset of IED is reported to be earlier than that of the comorbid disorder. […] A history of trauma in childhood has long been thought to be associated with the development of aggression later on in childhood and in adolescence.

• #18 Intermittent Explosive Disorder – Disorders of Aggression

  https://disordersofaggression.org/intermittent-explosive-disorder/

  Intermittent explosive disorder is a disorder of aggression that can occur in children, teenagers, or adults. […] The causes of intermittent explosive disorder are complex. People who are at risk for intermittent explosive disorder are more easily frustrated than other people, and are less tolerant of feeling frustrated. When they feel frustrated or are provoked, they overreact impulsively. This may result from differences in their brain that cause them to have stronger emotional responses or more difficulty controlling emotions. […] Like other mental disorders, intermittent explosive disorder results from a combination of both genetic and environmental factors (nature and nurture). […] Genetic factors account for about half (50%) of the risk that a person will develop intermittent explosive disorder.

• #19 Intermittent Explosive Disorder – Disorders of Aggression

  https://disordersofaggression.org/intermittent-explosive-disorder/

  There is no intermittent explosive disorder gene. Many thousands of genes affect human brain functioning. People with intermittent explosive disorder may carry an unusually high number of genetic variants that increase their risk of developing the disorder. […] Some environmental risk factors for intermittent explosive disorder affect how the brain develops, or how a person learns to behave during childhood. […] Environmental risk factors in adulthood that are associated with risk for intermittent explosive disorder include: Being male, Being young, Unemployment, Being divorced or separated, Having less education. […] A risk factor is not the same as a cause. Some people may have environmental risk factors for intermittent explosive disorder but not develop the disorder. Some people with intermittent explosive disorder do not have any environmental risk factors.

• #20 Signs and Symptoms of Intermittent Explosive Disorder

  https://www.verywellhealth.com/intermittent-explosive-disorder-overview-and-more-5211713

  The exact cause of IED is unknown. Although childhood trauma is thought to be the main driver in the development of IED, including socioeconomic stressors, other research has found that genetics and abnormalities in the brain can contribute. […] Research has found that people with IED have abnormalities in serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that’s associated with feelings of well-being. It also plays a role in stabilizing mood. A history of traumatic brain injury occurs more often in people diagnosed with IED than in neurotypical people, too. […] Genetic factors play a role in children who develop traits of aggression. For example, one study found an association of inflammatory responses in the brain with aggressive behavior in IED by analyzing different areas of DNA. The study indicated that people with IED had differences in those areas than those who did not. These differences in genes may affect IED risk.

• #21 Childhood Trauma and Intermittent Explosive Disorder

  https://www.verywellmind.com/intermittent-explosive-disorder-and-trauma-2797145

  Although experiencing anger and difficulty managing anger can occur in a number of mental health disorders, there is only one disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5) that directly focuses on anger Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED). […] Given that IED can seriously interfere with relationships and negatively affect the quality of a person’s life, mental health researchers have attempted to identify the cause of this disorder. One area that a number of researchers have focused on is experiencing traumatic events, particularly those that occur in childhood. […] For example, one study of a large group of people from the general population across the United States looked at the relationship between exposure to childhood trauma and IED. They found that just having experienced any childhood trauma was found to be one of the strongest contributors to developing IED in adulthood.

• #22 Childhood Trauma and Intermittent Explosive Disorder

  https://www.verywellmind.com/intermittent-explosive-disorder-and-trauma-2797145

  Childhood trauma itself was a better predictor of IED than the severity of the traumatic exposure and having post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). […] In addition, the study found that experiencing interpersonal childhood trauma, for example, sexual abuse, was particularly associated with developing IED. […] That said, it is important to remember that this is all based on just a few studies. There is research supporting genetic influences as well as having found neurobiological abnormalities in individuals with intermittent explosive disorder.

• #23 Intermittent Explosive Disorder: Why IED Isn’t About Anger Issues

  https://psychcentral.com/disorders/intermittent-explosive-disorder-ied

  Intermittent explosive disorder is a formal mental health diagnosis characterized by outbursts of intense anger or aggression that would be considered disproportionate to the situation at hand. […] Instead, it may be helpful to think of IED as a biological adaption to previous stress or trauma, like an overreactive fight response. […] Trauma can lead to changes in the brain. […] So far, research suggests that those who live with IED have a lower volume of gray matter and increased activity in the amygdala (the brains fire alarm) than folks not living with IED. […] While researchers dont yet know what causes this condition, it appears to be a combination of genetic and environmental factors, specifically related to trauma.

• #24 Intermittent explosive disorder | MedLink Neurology

  https://www.medlink.com/articles/intermittent-explosive-disorder

  The exact etiology of impulsive aggression in the context of intermittent explosive disorder remains to be defined, but clearly is multidetermined in nature with contributions from genetics, neurochemistry, and cortico-limbic function. […] Aggression is under both genetic and environmental influence, with up to 50% of the variability in measures of aggression accounted for by genetic factors. […] From a psychobiological standpoint, aggression, particularly impulsive aggression, is associated with a reduction in central 5-HT function that is also observable in more distal indices of 5-HT function. […] These findings are highly consistent with animal studies reporting inverse relationships between 5-HT and aggression first reported in the literature in the 1960s. […] Similarly, studies of individuals with intermittent explosive disorder note categorical differences in structural and functional imaging studies as would be expected from studies of aggression in general.

• #25 Study Identifies Comorbidities of Intermittent Explosive Disorder

  https://www.hcplive.com/view/study-identifies-comorbidities-intermittent-explosive-disorder

  Intermittent explosive disorder is strongly comorbid with psychiatric, neurological, and somatic disorders, complicating diagnosis and treatment. […] Patients with intermittent explosive disorder, compared to patients without, had greater prevalence in neurodegenerative diseases (4.4% vs 0.5%; HR, 5.0; 95% CI, 4.1 6.1) and epilepsy (14.1% vs 1.7%; HR, 4.9; 95% CI, 4.2 5.6). […] Intermittent explosive disorder was associated with the greatest risk of mental, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental disorders (hazard ratio [HR], 3.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.3 3.5), followed by nervous system diseases (HR, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.8 2.0). […] The team observed patients with intermittent explosive disorder had extensive comorbidities with psychiatric, neurological, and somatic conditions.

• #26 Intermittent Explosive Disorder: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

  https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/what-is-intermittent-explosive-disorder

  Intermittent explosive disorder causes sudden angry outbursts for no reason. […] Experts dont yet know what causes IED. But a few things may increase your chances of having the disorder, such as: […] Your brain. Your brain structure and chemistry, as well as how your brain functions, may be different than that of someone who does not have IED. Research shows that people with IED have lower levels of a neurotransmitter hormone called serotonin. […] Having another mental disorder also increases your risk of developing IED. […] About 80% of people with IED also have at least one other disorder, such as anxiety or bipolar disorder. […] IED is treated with a combination of therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. […] Your doctor might prescribe selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or mood stabilizer medicines to help balance your brain chemicals.

  https://www.charliehealth.com/post/intermittent-explosive-disorder-symptoms-and-treatment

  Some research suggests a potentially high rate of co-occurrence between IED and bipolar disorder, but the two conditions are separate. Bipolar disorder, which is a mood disorder, involves a broader range of mood symptoms compared to IED, which is classified by the American Psychiatric Association as a disruptive, impulse control, and conduct disorder. However, both disorders may involve brain regions responsible for regulating the top-down control of aggression and violent behavior.

• #28 Effects of Escitalopram Administration on Face Processing in Intermittent Explosive Disorder: An fMRI Study | Neuropsychopharmacology

  https://www.nature.com/articles/npp2015187

  The neurobiological underpinnings of intermittent explosive disorder (IED) are traditionally linked to deficiencies in the serotonergic system. […] The neurobiological underpinnings of aggression are traditionally linked to deficiencies in the serotonergic system (5-HT; Coccaro, 1989, 2000, 2012; Lesch and Merschdorf, 2000). […] However, despite the evidence for the central role of 5-HT, it is unknown how SSRI administration affects the neural mechanism of IED. […] Our findings suggest that the TPJ is also a potentially important brain region involved in IED and escitalopram may reduce aggressive tendencies toward others in IED by enhancing social–cognitive processing, rather than affecting the primary salience response of the amygdala. […] The results suggest that escitalopram may affect the neural mechanisms of social–emotional and social–cognitive processes.

• #29 Intermittent Explosive Disorder

  https://www.psychiatrictimes.com/view/intermittent-explosive-disorder

  Individuals with IED demonstrate abnormalities in a number of psychological areas. Compared with controls, individuals with IED have elevations of relational aggression aimed at damaging interpersonal relationships. […] Most recently, individuals with IED have been reported to have reduced emotional intelligence. […] Double-blind, placebo-controlled, clinical trials in patients with impulsive aggression and/or IED have been conducted over the past decade. A reduction was seen in impulsive aggressive behavior after fluoxetine treatment in personality-disordered patients with IED.

• #30 Psychological and pharmacological treatments of intermittent explosive disorder: a meta-analysis protocol | BMJ Open

  https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/8/e083896

  Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is characterised by recurrent, sudden episodes of impulsive aggression that are disproportionate to the provocation. […] The management of IED presents a significant challenge due to its complex aetiology and the variability in patient response to treatment. […] The findings of this meta-analysis are expected to highlight the relative strengths of CBT, which remains a cornerstone in the psychological treatment of IED. […] The structured approach of CBT, with its emphasis on understanding and modifying thought patterns and behaviours, is anticipated to be validated as an effective intervention. […] The meta-analysis is also expected to shed light on how these comorbid conditions, such as mood and anxiety disorders, influence the treatment trajectory of IED. […] To improve treatment for IED, there needs to be increased awareness, better diagnostic tools and more dedicated research into the specific mechanisms of the disorder.
