The neural basis of empathy. (2012, background): “…predispositions to unempathic responding, how neural plasticity can go awry, and the influence of deficient empathy on aggressive, impulsive, and selfish behavior (Birbaumer et al. 2005, Boccardi et al. 2010, Decety et al. 2009b, Kiehl et al. 2001, Sterzer et al. 2007, Tiihonen et al. 2008).”
How do you feel — now? The anterior insula and human awareness (2009, background): “; adolescents with conduct disorder were found to have a significant decrease in grey matter volume in the bilateral AIC that correlated with a lack of empathy and with aggressive behaviou”
Brain basis of human social interaction: from concepts to brain imaging. (2009, background): “A relationship between empathy and AI activation is also suggested by the finding that in adolescents with conduct disorder, the insular volume correlates with empathy score (221).”
