Experts explained, nerve cells need to transfer information with serotonin, the human body is usually used in food for synthesis of tryptophan serotonin. The researchers please some volunteers on different days were eating the food rich in or lack of tryptophan, then use some pictures to arouse their anger in the brain, with magnetic resonance imaging technology to observe the reaction of the brain.

     The results showed that in the lack of tryptophan and thus lead to serotonin is low, an angry response from the brain to suppress. To the brain activity observed that in low levels of serotonin in the brain, the frontal part and the amygdala parts of contact between signal will be reduced.
