That is a very interesting and profound question that has serious
implications for our legal system.
I can talk about it at length, but briefly:
- they've discovered that certain (treatable) mental afflictions can result
in violent behaviour
- certain mental afflictions can trigger sexual desires where none existed
before
- diet is correlated with violent behaviour
- certain parasites can control host behaviour
I'm reminded about the story about Charles Whitman. A few days before his
shooting spree he typed this letter:

After his autopsy the discovered a tumour that was pressing against his
amygdala.
Then there's stuff like this:
