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.

Cortical structure in relation to empathy and psychopathy in 800 incarcerated men

The paper examines cortical structure in relation to empathy and psychopathy in incarcerated men, finding specific associations between cortical metrics and psychopathy factors.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Untangling intelligence, psychopathy, antisocial personality disorder, & conduct problems: A meta-analytic review

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.
