    charged as guilty. Sapolsky asserts “Is a child doing poorly at school because he is unmotivated and slow, or because there is a neurobiological based learning disability?” (Quoted in Eagleman 438). Sapolsky’s question shows that it’s uncomplicated to mistake one thing for another. If a culprit committed a crim, and claimed that his/her motivation to do the crime was neurobiological, who’s to say that he/she is wrong? Even if the culprit was telling the truth, and he/she was sent to rehabilitation, they

They evolved with neural and hormonal mechanisms supporting their helpful social behavior. Learning and assessing this social behavior is a huge chunk of what inspires the study of social psychology. When we

    behaviours. In light of the prevalence of anger in the TBI population, it is surprising that there has been a paucity of research exploring the component pre-morbid and comorbid factors in patients with increased anger following a TBI. From neurobiological point of view, Impulsive aggression is seen as a consequence of a failure in the regulation of negative emotions, such as anger, for example.

    diagnosed with a bonafide illness. If ASPD is the cause of an individual’s incarceration, then their successful reintegration into society relies on treating the underlying diagnosis, and in order to do that, it is important to understand the neurobiological foundations of ASPD. Individuals with APSD exhibit neuroanatomical differences compared with individuals without the diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have identified an 11.0% reduction in prefrontal gray matter in individuals
