Characterization of the decision-making deficit of patients with ventromedial prefrontal cortex lesions. (2000, methodology): “…wish to thank Jon Spradling for computerizing the neurological history has been identified may be linked to the gambling task used in this study, Denise Krutzfeldt for abnormal operation of the VM cortex (Damasio, 2000; scheduling the subjects and Andrea Hindes for testing some Raine et al., 2000).”
Response inhibition and impulsivity: an fMRI study. (2003, background): “This has lead to suggestions that impaired ventromedial frontal lobe function may contribute to poor impulse control in antisocial personality disorders (Damasio, 2000).”
Deficient fear conditioning in psychopathy: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study. (2005, background): “Lesions in the ventromedial OFC have been associated with deficient somatic markers.(11,12) The “somatic marker” hypothesis stands in the James-Langian tradition of ascribing feedback from the autonomic, musculoskeletal, and endocrine systems to the cortical somatosensory areas, limbic system, and O”
Evolutionary theory and psychopathy (2011, background): “For example, neurological research on individuals who were once normal but who then suffered brain lesions have convincingly demonstrated that damage to the ventral regions of the prefrontal cortex results in poor decision-making, autonomic deficits, and sociopathic behavior (Damasio, 2000).”
Temporal self-regulation theory: A model for individual health behavior (2007, unknown): “…Isaacowitz, & Charles, 1999; Lang & Carstensen, 2002), delinquent behavioral tendencies (e.g., Anderson, Bechara, Damasio, Tranel, & Damasio, 1999; Damasio, 2000), addictive behaviors (Steele & Josephs, 1990) and imprudent spending habits (Camerer, Loewenstein, & Prelec, in press) are just a few…”
