According to Dr. John P. Murray, “Viewing behavior in media triggers certain areas of the brain that are associated with ‘arousal/attention, detection of threat, episodic memory encoding and retrieval, and motor programming’.”
Murray’s study mapped the amygdala and related brain structures, using functional magnetic resonance imaging to ascertain the neurological changes that resulted from watching violence on television. He concluded that a relationship existed between the chemistry of the brain and violent viewing, which affected both cognitive and motor behavior.

Therefore, when boys are exposed to media violence, it becomes stored in the brain in a manner similar to post traumatic stress disorder memories.
