Summary:
Most violent crime is committed by men with antisocial personality disorder, with or without psychopathy. This has enormous human and economic costs, but effective treatment approaches are limited. One pathway to developing effective interventions is developing a mechanistic understanding of the neural basis to these disorders, particularly in relation to deficits in empathy and decision making.
This webinar will outline the current state of play in forensic neuroscience. It will discuss pharmacoimaging approaches, including serotonergic strategies and novel investigative probes (e.g. OPM-MEG and 7T MRS), with implications for future treatments in antisocial populations.
