Although numerous neuroimaging studies have evaluated the characteristics of intermittent explosive disorder (IED), studies on the structural alterations and focal dysfunction in the brain in this condition are limited. This study aimed to identify gray matter deficits and functional alterations in individuals with IED using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) analyses. Fifteen men with IED and 15 age- and sex-matched healthy controls participated in this study. Gray matter volume and brain activation while viewing the anger-inducing films were measured using 7T MRI. VBM results indicated that individuals with IED had significantly reduced gray matter volume in the insula, amygdala, and orbitofrontal area, relative to controls. Gray matter volume in the left insula was negatively correlated with composite aggression scores. fMRI results demonstrated that relative to healthy controls, individuals with IED showed greater activation in the insula, putamen, anterior cingulate cortex, and amygdala during anger processing. Left insular activity was positively correlated with composite aggression scores. Collectively, these findings suggest that structural and functional alterations in the left insula are linked to IED; this provides insight into the neural mechanisms underlying IED
