Unraveling the Neuroscience Behind Psychopathy and Emotional Control
Originally Published 5 months ago — by Neuroscience News
New research using advanced connectome modeling reveals that psychopathy is linked to two distinct neural pathways in the brain: one affecting emotional processing and social-affective functions, and the other impacting attentional control. These pathways help explain the emotional detachment and impulsivity seen in psychopathic traits, and suggest potential targets for tailored interventions. The findings highlight the importance of brain network connectivity in understanding and potentially mitigating psychopathic behaviors.
