amygdala where fear is processed
orbital frontal cortex or regions where decision making happens
people with antisocial personality disorder (often linked with psychopathic behavior) have an average of 18% less volume in the brain’s frontal gyrus. In another study from the Archives of General Psychiatry, researchers compared 27 psychopaths to 32 non-psychopaths and found the psychopaths had less volume in their amygdala–where empathy, fear processing and emotional regulation happens. This study also found that psychopaths have less activity in the area of the brain that processes empathy
even though psychopathic brains don’t respond to punishment, they do respond to rewards
