Several cases have been reported in the scientific literature in which DBS has led to behavioral changes such as increased impulsivity and aggressiveness (Frank, Samanta, Moustafa, and Sherman 2007; Sensi et al. 2004) or changes in sexual behavior (Houeto et al. 2002).
SSRIs can lead to manifestations of behavioral activation such as increased impulsivity, aggression, and sleep disturbance.
Erhart et al. discuss several explanations for their findings, such as increased impulsivity or delay aversion which may lead to uncontrolled eating behavior or even binge eating.
Developmental lead exposure also reliably produced an increase in response rate on the FI, as well as increased impulsivity on a variety of tasks (Rice 2006).
The bHR rats exhibit enhanced acquisition of cocaine self-administration relative to bLR rats [ 5] as well as increased impulsivity (for example, reduced behavioral inhibition or increased responding on a task requiring inhibition compared with bLR rats) [ 12].
Impairments in these regions (eg, the orbitofrontal cortex in frontotemporal dementia) can lead to different neural mechanisms for increased impulsivity, as well as differential responses to dopaminergic medications.
Aetiological theories of co-morbidity include biological (e.g. genetic and familial risk factors), addiction and behavioural models, underlying personality factors (such as chronic dysregulation, increased impulsivity and novelty seeking), other co-morbid psychopathology, as well as environmental factors [ 7, 10].
It is thought that TBI increases the risk of suicide via two pathways; the injury itself may act as a stressor, precipitating suicidal ideation, and increased impulsivity as a result of the injury may increase the tendency to act on suicidal thoughts [ 36].
