It is often used to describe a person's anger as "out of reason with anger" This may be because the part of the brain responsible for reason lacks the help of a signal substance, serotonin, so it is difficult to control the activity of brain parts related to anger Researchers from Cambridge University and other institutions reported the results in the new issue of biopsychology in the United States Studies have shown that when tryptophan is absent and therefore serotonin levels are low, the brain's anger response is more difficult to suppress The observation of brain activity showed that when the serum level was low, the signal connection between frontal lobe and amygdala decreased The amygdala is involved in anger, and signals from the frontal lobe help control it Therefore, in the absence of serotonin as a messenger, it is difficult for the "rational" frontal lobe to control the "angry" amygdala It is suggested that some people who are prone to anger may as well eat more tryptophan rich foods in daily life to increase the content of serotonin in the brain Generally, the foods with high protein content contain a lot of tryptophan, such as soybeans, eggs and chicken.
