Dissociating Resting-State Networks of Pedohebephilic Preference and Child Sexual Offending Using Network-Based Prediction

The paper distinguishes pedohebephilic preference from child sexual offending using resting-state functional connectivity and network-based prediction, identifying distinct neural network alterations.

Mapping the Structural Brain Network of Psychopathy: Convergent Evidence from Humans and Chimpanzees

The paper identifies a distributed brain network associated with psychopathy in humans and chimpanzees, showing strong overlap with a lesion network linked to antisocial behavior.

Altered Social Cognition Associated with Kleptomanic and Instrumental Thefts

This study examines social cognition differences between theft recidivists with and without kleptomania compared to controls using behavioral games and questionnaires.

Higher Impulsivity in the Heterogeneous Structure of Theft Recidivists with and without Kleptomania

This study compares impulsivity and brain activity in theft recidivists with and without kleptomania to control subjects, finding higher impulsivity and altered prefrontal cortex responses in theft recidivists.

Neuroanatomical Subtypes of Callous-Unemotional Traits in a Community Sample of Youth

The paper identifies two neuroanatomical subtypes of callous-unemotional traits using machine learning in a community sample of youth, showing distinct clinical and environmental profiles.

Executive function and underlying brain network distinctions for callous-unemotional traits and conduct problems in adolescents

The paper examines EF impairments in adolescents with CU traits and CP, finding distinct brain network patterns associated with these traits.

Shared brain basis of aggression in clinical, forensic, and healthy samples: A meta-analysis

This study identifies a common neural network associated with aggression across clinical, forensic, and healthy populations through a meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies.

Investigating cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between brain structure and distinct dimensions of externalizing psychopathology in the ABCD Sample

The paper examines cross-sectional and longitudinal links between brain structure and externalizing psychopathology dimensions in children using ABCD data, finding region-specific associations with traits and symptom changes over time.

Connectome-based predictive modeling of empathy in adolescents with and without the low-prosocial emotion specifier

The paper uses connectome-based predictive modeling to predict empathy in adolescents with and without the LPE specifier using resting-state functional connectivity data.

Aberrant type 2 dopamine receptor availability in criminal psychopathy

This study finds reduced D2R availability in psychopathic offenders compared to controls, suggesting a potential neuromolecular pathway for psychopathy.

Psychopathy and distance estimation

This study investigates whether psychopathy affects distance estimation, finding that individuals with higher psychopathy levels underestimate approaching avatar distances less than those with lower scores.

Resting-state connectivity underlying cognitive controls association with perspective taking in callous-unemotional traits

The paper examines how cognitive control and perspective taking relate to callous-unemotional traits through brain connectivity analysis in adolescents.

Aberrant motor contagion of emotions in psychopathy and high-functioning autism

The paper compares neural responses to emotional stimuli in psychopathy and high-functioning autism, finding distinct patterns of somatomotor alterations.

Connectome-based model predicts individual psychopathic traits in college students

The paper uses connectome-based predictive modeling to show that resting-state functional connectivity predicts individual psychopathic traits in college students.

Altered effective connectivity from the posterior insula to the amygdala mediates the relationship between psychopathic traits and concern with the Harm foundation

White matter connectivity of uncinate fasciculus and inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus: A possible early biomarker for callous-unemotional behaviors in young children with ADHD

The paper examines white matter microstructure in children with ADHD and finds reduced fractional anisotropy in UF and IFOF correlates with CU behaviors, independent of CP and other covariates.

Resting-state network topology characterizing callous-unemotional traits in adolescence

The paper models individual-specific resting-state network maps in adolescents with callous-unemotional traits and identifies topological features associated with these traits.

Reactive/proactive aggression specific cortical and subcortical alterations in children and adolescents with disruptive behavior

The paper examines structural brain differences in children and adolescents with aggressive behavior, finding subtype-specific volume reductions in regions linked to decision making and empathy.

This study conducts a meta-analysis to examine the relationship between intelligence and psychopathy, its factors, and related disorders, finding a small negative association overall.

Different Whole-Brain Functional Connectivity Correlates of Reactive-Proactive Aggression and Callous-Unemotional Traits in Disruptive Children and Adolescents

The paper examines functional connectivity differences in children and adolescents with disruptive behavior, finding distinct patterns for reactive and proactive aggression and callous-unemotional traits, emphasizing the role of comorbid symptoms.
