  1. In the above mentioned Research they found that psychopaths brain function differently with the help of MRI .But simply it can be contradictory also for e.g.when I learn to lets say control my stress by say auto suggestion and by the time I feel less and less stress proportionately my brain activity will also change when I was more stressfull.Now If How I will find that I feel less stress because my brain functions differently or I have trained myself with autosuggestion to to chang my belifs about stress and that why I have different brain activity after training. Is brain controlling my behaviour or I control my brain. Child psychology says that wiring in brain takes place as child grows.first three years How he receive care,how he build care and many other parental inputs ,decides to large extent His/Her Interpersonal relations,problem solving,eating habits and foundation for his overall personality for his life and keep on changing with time.Now In research concluding by the brain activity that it is a cause and effect is doubtfull. it can be effect and cause can be(is) upbringing or other enviormental factors for personality development.

    1. Some good points. But I think you might be missing the gist of the article here. Perhaps you have also not read the other articles I’ve written on the topic. I also am one who is hesitant to ascribe “causality” when we don’t yet know enough to do so. Evidence is mounting about different brain structuring and functioning in psychopaths. How that happens, what contributes to it, whether predispositions exist early on or are developed over time, etc. are still unknown. That’s why all my articles shy away from ascribing a strictly biological causality to psychopathy. The science is just not there yet to support such a conclusion.
