      This website is very interesting because it explains that their is an architectural difference in the brain of a psychopath compared to a healthy brain. The areas that are different are the amygdala, which is associated with emotions, fear and agression, and the oribitofrontal cortex (OFC), which is responsible for the decision making. There is white matter that connects the amygdala and the OFC, which is called uncinate fasciculus (UF). They found a significant reduction in the integrity of the small particles that compose the UF of psychopaths compared to control groups of people with the same age and IQ.

  • To date, nobody has investigated the 'connectivity' between the specific brain regions implicated in psychopathy.
  • Earlier studies had suggested that dysfunction of specific brain regions might underpin psychopathy
  • amygdale
  • the degree of abnormality was significantly related to the degree of psychopathy. These results suggest that psychopaths have biological differences in the brain which may help to explain their offending behaviours.

    ScienceDaily is one of the most popular scientific news web sites since 1995. As of 1995, ScienceDaily has won the loyalty of the public (i.e. students, researchers, health care professionals, government agencies, educators and the general public). If all those members of our society can trust this website that has won multiple awards, so can I. I am a part of the 3 million monthly viewers that trust this website that proves to be very credible. I also found this website using www.sweetsearch.com which the student of Mrs. Bambic's psychology class of 2012 have been told is credible and used by many professionals around the world.
