[lbo-talk] NPR: A Neuroscientist Uncovers A Dark Secret

[Joseph Catron]

After learning his violent family history, he examined the images and
compared them with the brains of psychopaths. His wife's scan was
normal. His mother: normal. His siblings: normal. His children:
normal.

"And I took a look at my own PET scan and saw something disturbing
that I did not talk about," he says.

What he didn't want to reveal was that his orbital cortex looks inactive.

"If you look at the PET scan, I look just like one of those killers."
