3.1.2 The structure of the brain, different brain areas including the pre-frontal cortex and limbic system and brain functioning as an explanation of aggression as a human behaviour.

Use - brain structure and aggression to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - brain structure and aggression determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - brain structure and aggression to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Brain structure and aggression is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
