Externalizing is a broad construct that reflects propensity toward variety of impulse control problems, including antisocial personality disorder and substance use disorders. Two event-related potential responses known to be reduced among individuals high in externalizing proneness are the P300, which postperceptual processing stimulus, error-related negativity (ERN), indexes performance monitoring based on endogenous representations. In current study, authors used simulated gambling task...
BackgroundModulation of sexual desires is, in some cases, necessary to avoid inappropriate or illegal behavior (downregulation desire) engage with a romantic partner (upregulation desire). Some have suggested that those who difficulty downregulating their be diagnosed as having 'addiction'. This diagnosis is thought associated urges feel out control, high-frequency behavior, consequences due behaviors, and poor ability reduce behaviors. However, such symptoms also may better understood...
Violence that leads to homicide results in an extreme financial and emotional burden on society. Juveniles who commit are often tried adult court typically spend the majority of their lives prison. Despite enormous costs associated with homicidal behavior, there have been no serious neuroscientific studies examining youth homicide.Here we use neuroimaging voxel-based morphometry examine brain gray matter incarcerated male adolescents committed (n = 20) compared offenders did not 135). Two...
There are no effective treatments for cocaine use disorder (CUD), a chronic, relapsing brain disease characterized by dysregulated circuits related to cue reactivity, reward processing, response inhibition, and executive control. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has the potential modulate networks implicated in neuropsychiatric disorders, including addiction. Although acute applications of TMS have reduced craving urine-negative users, tolerability safety administering accelerated...
Age is one of the best predictors antisocial behavior. Risk models recidivism often combine chronological age with demographic, social and psychological features to aid in judicial decision-making. Here we use independent component analyses (ICA) machine learning techniques demonstrate utility using brain-based measures cerebral aging predict recidivism. First, developed a brain-age model that predicts based on structural MRI data from incarcerated males (n = 1332). We then test model's...
Rearrest has been predicted by hemodynamic activity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) during error-processing (Aharoni et al., 2013). Here we evaluate predictive power after adding an additional imaging modality a subsample of 45 incarcerated males from Aharoni al. Event-related potentials (ERPs) and were collected Go/NoGo response inhibition task. Neural measures obtained ACC two ERP components, error-related negativity (ERN/Ne) error positivity (Pe). Measures Pe differentiated...
Neurocognitive studies of psychopathy have predominantly focused on male samples. Studies shown that female psychopaths exhibit similar affective deficits as their counterparts, but results are less consistent across cognitive domains including response modulation. As such, there may be potential gender differences in error-related processing psychopathic personality. Here we investigate response-locked event-related (ERP) components [the negativity (ERN/Ne) related to early error-detection...
Risky sexual behaviors typically occur when a person is sexually motivated by potent, reward cues. Yet, individual differences in sensitivity to cues have not been examined with respect risk behaviors. A greater responsiveness might provide motivation for act sexually; lower lead seek more intense, novel, possibly risky, acts. In this study, event-related potentials were recorded 64 men and women while they viewed series of emotional, including explicit sexual, photographs. The motivational...
