This website is very interesting because it talks about a study that has been done at the University of Illinois. This study was on psychopathy and children. It included architectural differences in the brain of a child who may have psychopathic tendencies in the future.

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. The degree of abnormality was significantly related to the degree of psychopathy.

This website is very interesting because it is a detailed article on the origins of psychopathy. The author of this article, Katherine Ramsland, obviously believes that bad parents are the source for psychopathy because she often brings up real stories where psychopathic children had bad environments and she talks about theories such as the attatchement theory, which states the importance of the bond between parents and children. She hardly talks about the role of the brain in psychopathy. Ramsland often talks about the symptoms of psychopathic children and the interventions that need to be done in order for this behaviour to stop.

This website is very interesting because it explains that the behaviour of a psychopath is highly related to the reward system of the brain called the nucleus accumbens. A hyper-reactive dopamine reward system is the source of a psychopath's behaviour, which causes violent crimes, recidivism, and substance abuse. They also found that substance abuse has a strong impact on psychopathy.

LOOK AT "CAMOUFLAGE CANS BY LIU BOLIN" This optical illusion is very interesting because you don't notice anything until you look at the bottom of the photo and see the shoes. If you move up from there until about three quarters of this photo, you'll see the head, the neck and the hands. This is very interesting because we can see how our eyes can play tricks on us and then see something that they hadn't seen before.

This video is a very good explanation of the importance in keeping our brain active so that the connections don't die off. Harold Kiplewicz compares the connections in the brain to a highway and our sense of direction. The brain will tend to forget about the country roads but it will remember the most frequently used highways, which is a great analogy that easy to remember. He also explains that because of the fact that the brain keeps developing until 20-25 years old, medication has a different impact on children and adolescents compared to adults.
