Neurocognitive Elements of Antisocial Behavior: Relevance of an Orbitofrontal Cortex Account
Seguin, Jean R.
Brain and Cognition, v55 n1 p185-197 Jun 2004
This paper reviews the role of orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) lesions in antisocial behaviors and the adequacy of a strict OFC account of antisocial disorders where there is no evidence of lesion. Neurocognitive accounts of antisocial behaviors are extended beyond the OFC. Several methodological shortcomings specific to this neuroscience approach to antisocial behavior are identified. A developmental approach is advocated to chart the developmental sequences of impaired brain development and of the various comorbid states typically seen in antisocial disorders.
