Psychopathic traits linked to distinct brain networks in new neuroscience research

A new study published in the European Journal of Neuroscience sheds light on how patterns of brain connectivity may relate to psychopathic traits and their association with externalizing behaviors such as aggression and rule-breaking. By analyzing brain scans from young adults, researchers found that individuals with higher levels of psychopathic traits showed distinctive patterns of structural connections in the brain. These patterns, in turn, …
