Also, serotonin which is a neurochemical decided someone’s personality. This neurochemical has important roles in bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. Serotonin can also increase impulsivity and aggression as well. Aggression also has strong connections to dopamine which is a neurotransmitter that deals with pleasure. Dopamine also has strong ties with ADHD which can lead to criminal activity, as well as impulsivity, and anti-social behavior.

    is common sense that the way the individual was raised can affect the base of the way they live, but what if that individual was raised in a perfect home with no spankings or any punishments and was never around any bad environment. Let’s just say that this individual grew to be successful and accomplished all their goals but, for some reason, or no reason at all, committed murder. What could be the explanation of that?

    its inactive state. It binds to Rab escort protein (REP), which directs it to the RGGT, where the Rab protein is isoprenylated by addition of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) group or farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) onto the cysteine. The REP then transports the prenylated Rab protein to its target membrane where guanine exchange factor (GEF) exchanges the GDP to GTP to activate it. The Rab protein can then associate with its effector protein, specific to the Rab type, to carry out functions such…
