- Accordion Rich Richard · Top CommenterThe MRI studies mentioned in this report were static freeze frame pictures, trying to examine brain structure and later making structural comparisons...
Now, with what is called a Functional MRI brain scan, a video can be made of nerve firings and brain activity over time. And when done on known sociopaths while the individual is challenged by a moral/ethical problem... wella! the brain of the sociopath shows a major cognitive storm going off, much different than when a non sociopath brain is scanned. There is more... but not enough time, nor is this the place to spell it all out.
Suffice it to say a FMRI brain scan can under the right conditions positively identify a person who's brain is so miswired they have no functional conscience.- Accordion Rich Richard · Top CommenterI believe the pathology is in the human genome The Natural Born Soiopath is a genetic/psycho/social diseased person. born unable to wire up a functioning social conscience... and there is no treatment, no cure,, a life log affliction that disrupts every social relationship, network, system in which they are ALLOWED to participate. There are many in the US Federal Government.. and on US media.

- Justin Moore · Top Commenter · Texas A&M University–Corpus Christiawesome article...not sure how much social intervention can change a brain, personally I don't believe it can, but it sure doesn't hurt to train society to become more of a positive environment that will not result in actions by the individual precipitate by his or her brain structure. Certainly, constant abuse would not be a positive way for a child to develop as well. I believe that many factors result in criminal behavior. Not enough opportunity, not enough positive role models or influences in one's life, a general boredom that a mind of that with a high intelligence...all of these play a factor. It's about channeling that intelligence into the community that can be used positively. The only caveat is that behavior might come out in whatever role the individual takes in society, and can create antisocial tendencies chan...neled into an organizational structure. so the biggie with regard to ethics, is it better to help those individuals reintroduce to society or to lock away the mind that creates the criminal so society doesn't suffer. It certainly doesn't help to feel that the criminal should be coddled and revered because he or she creates jobs through their imprisonment (what a weird way of thinking to say the least). Should the criminal mind become normality and we all succumb to such thinking, or should we try to retrain the criminal. Again this is all presupposing that criminals think at all, and are not just products of their basic instincts and drives.See More
