摘要: 攻击已被证明是一个涉及情绪、认知过程的复杂的心理变量，它普遍存在且往往会给受害者甚至攻击者乃至整个社会带来损害。小脑，一个占有人脑神经元总数的50%以上的、结构复杂、功能丰富的脑区，不仅在运动协调、学习方面起着关键作用，而且其多个功能区域通过与大脑皮层和边缘系统的相互连接，还参与了攻击相关的情绪、认知和行为的调节。因此本综述通过分析和归纳现有文献的主要观点和研究成果，首先从理论层面系统剖析了皮质–边缘小脑攻击回路，阐述了小脑参与攻击的理论模型；接着着重探讨小脑蚓部以及后外侧这两个关键脑结构与攻击行为的紧密联系；最后从应用层面揭示小脑电刺激技术在攻击行为调控中的关键地位。另外还讨论了已有研究的局限性以及未来展望，以期使小脑在攻击领域的研究更加完善。
Abstract: Aggression has been proved to be a complex psychological variable involving emotional and cognitive processes, which is widespread and often brings damage to the victim, the attacker and even the whole society. The cerebellum, a complex and functionally rich brain region that accounts for more than 50% of the total number of neurons in the human brain, not only plays a key role in motor coordination and learning, but also participates in the regulation of emotion, cognition and behavior related to aggression through the interconnection with the cerebral cortex and limbic system. Therefore, by analyzing and summarizing the main viewpoints and research results of the existing literature, this review firstly systematically analyzes the cortical-limbic cerebellar aggression circuit from the theoretical level, and expounds the theoretical model of cerebellum involving in aggression; then, it focuses on the close relationship between the two key brain structures, the cerebellar vermis and the posterolateral, and aggressive behavior. Finally, the key position of cerebellar electrical stimulation technology in the regulation of aggressive behavior is revealed from the application level. In addition, the limitations of the existing research and the future prospects are discussed in order to make the research on cerebellum in the field of aggression more complete.
