And it is hiding in plain sight, if you have an MRI scanner.

In this study, we show that psychopathic offenders have white matter deficits in two dissociable major networks. Namely, an amygdalo-prefrontal network (i.e., white matter tract connecting amygdala to prefrontal cortex) and a striato-thalamo-frontal network (a network connecting the nucleus accumbens, thalamus and prefrontal cortex). Importantly, correlations between the underlying factor structure of psychopathy and white matter tracts were found: we found correlations between (i) PCL-R Factor 1 and integrity of projections from amygdala to medial prefrontal and orbitofrontal cortex, and (ii) between PCL-R Factor 2 and projections from ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens through the anterior limb of internal capsule to thalamus and prefrontal cortex.

Earlier structural and functional MRI studies have repeatedly implicated disruption of an amygdalo-prefrontal network in psychopathy. Indeed, our findings align with recent data from antisocial personality disorder [11], children with callous-unemotional traits [39], boys with conduct disorder [40] and psychopathic offenders [10], all pointing to disrupted white matter within these regions. Recently, disruption of the uncinate fasciculus, which connects amygdala to vmPFC and OFC was implicated in psychopaths, supporting our findings [10], providing evidence for the theory that the social and emotional deficits in psychopaths reflect a deficient interaction between OFC/vmPFC and amygdala [6]. A subsequent study that included the same 9 psychopathic individuals from the Craig et al study, plus another six (total n = 15) with antisocial personality disorder found white matter disruption in frontally-based white matter tracts [11] connecting to the limbic system, providing further support for this notion. Furthermore, a recent study of boys with psychopathic tendencies found reduced white matter concentration in frontal cortex [41], raising the possibility that even mild neural alterations may lead to subclinical behaviors along a continuum.

In summary, we found profound disruption of white matter circuitry in psychopathic offenders compared to healthy controls. Our data suggest that the neural correlates of the interpersonal affective dysfunction lies in disruption of amygdalo-prefrontal circuitry and the neural correlates of antisocial/violent behavior lie in disruption of striato-thalamo-frontal reward circuitry that is tightly linked to impulsivity and substance abuse. The extent of white matter damage attributed to neurodevelopment versus that acquired over time in psychopathy is a potentially exciting area of future investigation that deserves further exploration.

Kind of makes me wish I had a really small MRI scanner that I could carry with me so I could prescreen the people I decide to talk to and engage with...

I'm thinking maybe MRI glasses:

It could be a real time-saver. :D

In the humane "christian" US system EMTs just scan for a credit card on the person first, if none found they walk away. It is also a real time saver to see if worth engaging with them.

"In God we trust" is very multi-functional for them.

Is there a similar Holocaust card to the race card? I believe it all happened, in fact my relatives worked very hard to save your people from annihilation but.. wow, that card seem to have no limit with conservative Jews. They use it to buy anything and at anyone's cost.

Just being 'fair and balanced'.

Cambridge Analytica used Israel based companies a lot it seems to spy. A state operating a security service is expected.. but whats with the private companies with apparent license to steal and scrape data from anywhere they want in Israel?

That I couldn't comment on. Whatever our respective backgrounds, I suppose we all overplay a hand at our disposal from time to time. But in the face of denial of unimaginable atrocities by certain crazies, I can see how that would steel some people to play a hand for what it's worth.

As for Poindexter, I don't think even he knows what he is or isn't. Hell, I'm not convinced he knows which sex he's opposite of.

I’VE WRITTEN THIS story before – many times, in fact. It’s a story of white privilege and black pain. It’s a story of Islamophobia and bigotry. It’s a story about the United States of America.

On Monday, bombs went off in Austin, Texas.

That’s a big deal, right? Bombs – actual improvised explosive devices – going off in the middle of a major American city is a big fucking deal.

They weren’t found by a bomb squad and safely disposed of by a brave crew or a high-tech robot. Nah, they were left on the doorsteps of people’s homes all over Austin. Made to look like mail, the packages were then picked up by a mix of everyday people – black and Latino, young and old – who were then torn to bits by explosive shrapnel.

A report from ABC News outlined the level of sophistication of the explosives: The bombs had been designed by a “highly skilled” bomb maker – or makers —who used pieces of metal to generate shrapnel and set triggers that detonated the bombs with motion.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s a huge deal. Strangely, though, Donald Trump, the president of the United States, who campaigned on being tough on crime and terrorism, hasn’t said a word. He hasn’t tweeted concerns or condolences. Instead, he’s tweeting pictures of himself surveying border wall prototypes. Hours after the bombs were detonated in Austin on Monday, Trump was terminating his secretary of state on Twitter.

A full 10 days before most of the nation heard about the deadly bombs that were set off this past Monday, one tore through Anthony Stephan House, a 39-year-old African-American project manager, ripping his body to shreds.

“It didn’t sound like an explosion or what I think of an explosion. It sounded like a metal dumpster getting hit by a truck,” said a neighborwho rushed outside and found House with shrapnel embedded in his body. “His clothes were torn up and his face was torn up.”

House was pronounced dead an hour later.

What happened next is hard to process. Police initially called the death a homicide, but then changed that because they said House could have killed himself with a package bomb on the doorstep of his own home. According to the cops, the death was simply “suspicious” and “an isolated incident and that there is no continuing threat to the community.”

Then, this past Monday, a full 10 days after House was apparently murdered, virtually the same thing that happened to House happened at two additional homes in Austin.

One of the exploding packages was brought into a family home and exploded in the kitchen, killing 17-year-old Draylen Mason and critically wounding his mother. Mason, we have since learned, was a brilliant, African-American musician and young scholar who had been accepted into prestigious music programs across the country.

Another bomb exploded a few hours later and critically injured 75-year-old Esperanza Herrera, whom authorities think picked up a package intended for someone else, according to the local NBC affiliate. The president of the local chapter of the NAACP told NBC, “The intended target was another person who might be connected to the House and Mason families.”

The connection, said Nelson Linder, the NAACP official, was through the families’ attendance at a prominent black church congregation in Austin. “They have a long history and go to the same church,” Linder said.

After the more recent spate of bombings, police finally admit that their evidence shows that House’s killing appears to have been carried out by the same person or group.

Here’s what I know and what makes living in this country so damn exhausting: If the victims were white and the suspects were known to be Muslims, the president of the United States would care. In these cases, however, with no profile of the attacker available and a trail of black and brown victims, it seems like this square peg doesn’t fit into the round hole of Trump’s agenda.
