Animal studies have linked the morphology and function of the hypothalamus to aggression and affiliation, with a subregional pattern reflecting the functional division between the hypothalamic nuclei. We explored the relationship between hypothalamic subunit volumes in violent offenders with (PSY-V) and without (NPV) a psychotic disorder, and the association with psychopathy traits. 3T MRI scans (\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009628, all male 18\u201370\u00a0years) were obtained from PSY-V,\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200938, NPV,\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u200920, non-violent psychosis patients (PSY-NV),\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009134, and healthy controls (HC),\n                    <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009436. The total hypothalamus volume and its eleven\u00a0nuclei were delineated into five subunits using Freesurfer v7.3. Psychopathy traits were assessed with Psychopathy Checklist-revised (PCL-R). ANCOVAs and linear regressions were used to analyze associations with subunit volumes.

We found distinct hypothalamic subunit volume reductions in persons with a history of violence independent of concomitant psychotic disorder but not in persons with psychosis alone.
