The neuroanatomical and physiological mechanisms that regulate aggressiveness in normal population are briefly presented. Then we describe the particular disturbances of these mechanisms induced by autistic pathology and their behavioral consequences. We also briefly review the main theories that explain human aggressive behavior, particularizing the discussion for autistic aggressive behavior. Our intention is to identify the factors that are responsible for the development of autistic aggressive behavior.
