The material highlights a reproducible link between neuroanatomical differences and behavioral patterns associated with psychopathy, which is of interest to mental health professionals studying risk assessment, impulse control, and motivation. The focus on a specific brain region—the striatum—and its relation to thrill-seeking and impulsivity offers a concise example of how neurobiological findings can inform understanding of antisocial traits without venturing into clinical recommendations.

At #Fens2024 tomorrow (Wednesday 26/June) - Check out our poster comparing how representations change in #hippocampus, dorsolateral #striatum, and #prefrontal cortex in rats making decisions as environmental complexity changes.

U. Mugan et al. Poster number 211. In poster session 02: prefrontal decision-making

Some really cool results looking at interactions between decision-making systems!

I'm actually really glad for this surprise ❄️ #Sneachta ❄️ day.

Some comments are putting #MetEireann on the defensive, but I really enjoy the reminder that we do not control everything. We don't know everything. There is room for unpredictability.

Sure, it can be a little scary, but it's a good exercise to get out of our collective comfort zone. The #ICCA says #ClimateChange is here; plan for more bumps on the road.
