a. less aggressive, due to the inhibition of parts of the brain responsible for aggression.
b. more aggressive, due to the inhibition of parts of the brain that typically inhibit aggression.
c. less aggressive, due to the inhibition of parts of the brain that produce fear and anger.
d. less aggressive, due to the inhibition of parts of the brain needed for planning aggressive responses.
