AB  - OBJECTIVE: Proactive aggression can result in many economic, social, and health 
      problems. It has two levels: trait and state. Although the neural basis of trait 
      proactive aggression is becoming clearer, the neural basis of state proactive 
      aggression has been largely ignored and remains unclear. METHOD: We explore the 
      basic brain correlates of state proactive aggression using a reward-interference 
      task (RIT), in which participants play a competitive reactive time task against 
      an opponent. They can make decision to give the opponent noise interference for 
      winning the game and gaining reward or not. Forty healthy participants from a 
      university in China performed the RIT in the scanner and their functional images 
      were obtained on a 3.0-T Siemens Tim Trio scanner. Finally, 38 participants (21 
      males, M age = 19.24, SD = 1.32) were included in analyses. RESULTS: The results 
      show that relative to the baseline, the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), anterior 
      cingulate cortex (ACC), temporoparietal junction (TPJ), and inferior frontal 
      gyrus (IFG) were activated by aggression selection and nonaggression selection in 
      the RIT. Furthermore, relative to nonaggression selection, the MPFC, ACC, TPJ, 
      IFG, middle cingulate cortex (MCC), and middle temporal gyrus (MTG) were more 
      strongly activated during aggression selection and correlated with the scores of 
      some of the three basic proactive aggression motivations (instrumental 
      motivation, moral inhibition motivation, and moral approval motivation). 
      CONCLUSION: The results provide preliminary evidence of neural correlates for 
      state proactive aggression and should be replicated by other methods or with 
      other samples. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
