Course Description: Psychopathy is characterized by grandiosity, callousness, and manipulativeness combined with a lack of remorse, empathy, and guilt. It is often comorbid with conduct disorder (CD) and antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Neuroimaging studies have recently been conducted to explore various brain areas in individuals presenting with psychopathic traits. Researchers found that psychopathy was associated with numerous neuroanatomical abnormalities. Structural and functional irregularities involving the limbic and paralimbic systems appear to be associated with core psychopathic features. Researchers further posit that ASPD and psychopathy stem from biological processes.  

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify the 1 aim of the study and the methods related to reviewing MRI neuroimaging of psychopathic traits as examined in the article
  2. Integrate 4 identified strengths in the study with the 4 study limitations
  3. Generalize the possibility and/or plausibility of applying 1 primary finding to the relationship between neuroimaging and neuroanatomical abnormalities
