If the boys with high levels of aggressive behavior show a delayed cortical maturation, they will have a thinner cortex compared to the low aggressive boys.
Persistent high levels of aggressive, oppositional and impulsive behaviours, in the early lives of children, are significant risk factors for adolescent and adult antisocial behaviour and criminal activity.
Individuals expressing high levels of aggressive behavior may be viewed as having "a lower threshold for activation of motoric aggressive responses to external stimuli without adequate reflection or regard for the aversive consequences of the behavior" (p.340) (Siever, 2008).
Children with persistent high levels of aggressive, oppositional, and impulsive behaviours early in life are at a higher risk of serious adolescent and adult antisocial behaviour and criminal activity [ 4, 5].

For example black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus) shift the frequency of their song in agonistic interactions, and it has been suggested that such frequency-shifted songs communicate a higher level of aggressive motivation than non-shifted songs (Hill and Lein 1987; Otter et al. 2002; Mennill and Ratcliffe 2004).
A high level of suspicion, aggressive diagnostic measures, and the rapid application of an effective therapy are essential if we are to improve the mortality rates for these diseases.
