The aim of this work was to identify electrophysiological criteria for aggressive behavior in alcohol-dependent individuals. Materials and methods. A total of 134 male patients with alcohol dependence syndrome with documented episodes of heteroaggressive behavior in a state of alcoholic intoxication and with a criminal record were investigated. The patients underwent an EEG study, which included recording an EEG at rest and recording responses to standard functional loads. Results. Patients who had a criminal record in connection with heteroaggressive behavior required more time to process and evaluate information, and to make a decision about classifying the audible stimulus as significant. Conclusions. According to EEG data, patients with heteroaggressive behavior who had multiple (subgroup A) or single convictions (subgroup B) showed a statistically significant difference in hemispheric amplitude asymmetry. Patients who had a criminal record due to heteroaggressive behavior, according to KVP data, had a statistically significant lower volume of short-term and working memory compared to the control group.
