Intermittent explosive disorder (IED) is characterized by impulsive outbursts of anger and violent behavior, involving dysregulation of limbic circuits underlying emotional and behavioral control. Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS)-derived nitric oxide may modulate serotonergic neurotransmission involved in anger re...
