Please check research methods when conclusions are very important to you. **<br>-------------------------------------------------</p><p>TITLE: Psychopathic traits linked to distinct brain networks in new neuroscience research</p><p>URL: <a href="https://www.psypost.org/psychopathic-traits-linked-to-distinct-brain-networks-in-new-neuroscience-research/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">psypost.org/psychopathic-trait</span><span class="invisible">s-linked-to-distinct-brain-networks-in-new-neuroscience-research/</span></a></p><p>A new study published in the European Journal of Neuroscience sheds light on how patterns of brain connectivity may relate to psychopathic traits and their association with externalizing behaviors such as aggression and rule-breaking. By analyzing brain scans from young adults, researchers found that individuals with higher levels of psychopathic traits showed distinctive patterns of structural connections in the brain. These patterns, in turn, were associated with behaviors that involve acting out, suggesting that the brain’s wiring might help explain some of the behavioral tendencies linked to psychopathy.</p><p>Psychopathy is often associated with impulsivity, aggression, and antisocial behavior. While past studies have focused heavily on how different brain regions function in people with psychopathic traits, less is known about how these regions are structurally connected. Structural connectivity refers to the physical links between brain areas—similar to the brain’s wiring system. The researchers aimed to go beyond earlier work that focused only on specific brain circuits and instead look across the entire brain to identify any structural patterns linked to psychopathy.</p><p>The researchers were especially interested in understanding whether structural differences in the brain might explain the relationship between psychopathic traits and externalizing behaviors. Previous models have suggested two possible brain-based explanations for these behaviors. One theory emphasizes problems in how people process emotional threats, while another highlights difficulties in attention control. Both theories have some support, but no study had comprehensively examined how structural brain networks might connect psychopathy with real-world behavioral problems.</p><p>The research team analyzed data from 82 young adults who participated in the Leipzig Mind-Brain-Body study. All participants were screened to rule out medical or psychological conditions that might affect the results. Psychopathic traits were assessed using a questionnaire designed to capture both interpersonal-affective characteristics (like manipulation and lack of empathy) and behavioral traits (like impulsivity and rule-breaking). Externalizing behaviors were also measured with a separate questionnaire that included items on aggression, defiance, and similar tendencies.</p><p>Each participant underwent high-resolution brain imaging using diffusion MRI, a technique that maps the white matter tracts—essentially the brain’s wiring—connecting different regions. The researchers used a method called connectome-based predictive modeling, which relies on machine learning to identify patterns in the brain’s structural connectivity that relate to individual differences in behavior.</p><p>This method allowed them to identify two kinds of networks: positive networks, where stronger connections were linked to higher psychopathy scores, and negative networks, where weaker connections were related to those same scores. They also tested whether specific connections within these networks helped explain the relationship between psychopathic traits and externalizing behaviors.</p><p>The results showed that psychopathic traits were significantly associated with both stronger and weaker connections in different parts of the brain. The positive network—made up of connections that increased with psychopathy—was better at predicting psychopathic traits than the negative network alone. But when both networks were combined, the prediction became even more accurate.</p><p>Many of the connections in the positive network were located within the brain’s frontal and parietal lobes, which are involved in decision-making, emotional processing, and attention. These connections included pathways like the uncinate fasciculus, which links the frontal cortex with areas involved in emotion, and the arcuate fasciculus, which supports language and auditory processing. Other connections involved the cingulum bundle, associated with emotional regulation and social behavior, and the posterior corticostriatal pathway, which plays a role in reward processing and learning.</p><p>On the other hand, the negative network involved fewer connections, notably in regions like the superior longitudinal fasciculus and the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus on the left side of the brain. These tracts are important for attention control and integrating information across different senses.</p><p>The researchers then looked at whether specific connections in these networks could explain the link between psychopathic traits and externalizing behaviors. They found that one connection in the right hemisphere—part of a tract involved in emotion recognition—was associated with both psychopathy and higher levels of externalizing behavior. A second connection in the left hemisphere—related to attention control—was linked to both psychopathy and lower levels of these behaviors. Mediation analyses suggested that these two connections acted as pathways through which psychopathic traits might influence externalizing behaviors.</p><p>The findings suggest that structural differences in how the brain is connected may play a role in how psychopathic traits are expressed behaviorally. Some connections—especially those involved in emotion and reward processing—may contribute to difficulties in recognizing and responding to social and emotional cues, which could make aggressive or impulsive behaviors more likely. Other connections, especially those related to attention control, may affect a person’s ability to process competing information, potentially influencing how they respond in complex or emotionally charged situations.</p><p>Importantly, the study found that people with higher psychopathic traits did not always show weaker brain connections. In fact, some brain networks showed increased connectivity. This is different from earlier findings that have mostly focused on reduced structural integrity in white matter. The current study used a different measurement—counting the number of streamlines between regions—which may capture broader patterns of connection rather than subtle changes in tissue structure.</p><p>The researchers also emphasized that the results support a dual-pathway model of psychopathy. One pathway involves problems with emotional processing, and the other involves attention control. These two types of brain circuits may work independently or together to influence how psychopathic traits are expressed.</p><p>While the findings offer new insight into the brain’s role in psychopathy, there are several limitations. The participants in the study were young adults from the general population, and most had relatively low levels of externalizing behaviors. This limits how much the results can be applied to people with more severe or clinical forms of psychopathy.</p><p>The study also did not include behavioral or cognitive tasks that could directly link the brain’s structural features to performance in real-world situations. Including such tasks in future studies could help clarify how these brain differences translate into specific deficits in emotional or attentional processing.</p><p>Another limitation is that the study treated psychopathy as a single dimension. But research suggests that different components of psychopathy—such as callousness versus impulsivity—may be linked to different brain circuits. Future studies could look at how structural connectivity relates to specific traits or subtypes of psychopathy.</p><p>Finally, the study’s sample size was relatively small, and the findings need to be replicated in larger and more diverse populations, including those with higher levels of psychopathic traits or histories of criminal behavior.</p><p>The study, “The Role of Structural Brain Networks in Psychopathy and Its Relation to Externalizing Behaviors,” was authored by Peiyang Guo, Cheng Cheng, and Xiangyi Zhang.</p><p>URL: <a href="https://www.psypost.org/psychopathic-traits-linked-to-distinct-brain-networks-in-new-neuroscience-research/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">psypost.org/psychopathic-trait</span><span class="invisible">s-linked-to-distinct-brain-networks-in-new-neuroscience-research/</span></a></p><p>-------------------------------------------------</p><p>Private, vetted email list for mental health professionals: <a href="https://www.clinicians-exchange.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">clinicians-exchange.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Unofficial Psychology Today Xitter to toot feed at Psych Today Unofficial Bot <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/@PTUnofficialBot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>PTUnofficialBot</span></a></span></p><p>NYU Information for Practice puts out 400-500 good quality health-related research posts per week but its too much for many people, so that bot is limited to just subscribers.

This increased brain activity depended on specific characteristics of the breakup—such as who initiated it or whether participants felt betrayed. The research was published in the Journal of Affective Disorders.</p><p>Romantic relationships play a central role in emerging adulthood, a period marked by identity exploration and emotional development. During this stage, many individuals experience their first serious, long-term partnerships, which can offer emotional support, intimacy, and a sense of stability.</p><p>However, breakups are also common during this time and can be deeply distressing. Emerging adults may experience intense emotional pain, grief, and lowered self-esteem after a breakup. These events can lead to symptoms of depression, anxiety, and, in some cases, post-traumatic stress—particularly when the relationship was highly meaningful. Breakups may also disrupt trust in future partners or affect beliefs about love and commitment. </p><p>At the same time, some individuals experience personal growth and greater clarity about relationship needs. The psychological impact of a breakup depends on several factors, including relationship quality, the circumstances of the breakup, and available social support.</p><p>Lead author A.S.J. Van der Watt and colleagues investigated how emerging adults who perceived a breakup as psychologically traumatic responded to breakup-related stimuli in an fMRI scanner. Specifically, they examined blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) responses in the amygdala, hippocampus, and insula—brain regions involved in emotional memory, threat detection, and salience processing. The researchers hypothesized that participants would show increased activation in these areas when viewing breakup-related images compared to neutral ones.</p><p>The study included 94 participants aged 18 to 25 who reported experiencing posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS). Participants were divided into three groups: 42 who reported a romantic breakup as their most traumatic experience, 20 who identified a physical or sexual assault, and 32 who reported another stressful event that did not meet DSM-5 criteria for trauma. Participants completed assessments of PTSS, depression, childhood adversity, attachment style, and thoughts about their past relationships.</p><p>During the fMRI scan, participants viewed a mix of neutral, positive, and trauma-related images. These included stock photos representing relationship breakups or assaults, as well as personal photos of each participant’s own ex-partner. The researchers compared neural responses to these images with responses to neutral images.</p><p>Participants who had experienced a breakup showed increased activation in the hippocampus and amygdala when viewing images of their ex-partner, and this pattern of activation was comparable to those who viewed images related to physical or sexual assault. No significant differences were found between the breakup and trauma groups in terms of activation in these brain regions. The insula showed less consistent effects.</p><p>The study also found that individual differences affected brain responses. In the breakup group, greater hippocampal and amygdala activation was associated with being the person who did not initiate the breakup, feeling betrayed, or still holding positive thoughts about the ex-relationship. Attachment style, childhood neglect, and sexual orientation were also linked to differences in brain activation.</p><p>“RRDs [romantic relationship dissolutions] should be considered as potentially traumatic events. Breakup characteristics are risk factors for experiencing RRDs as traumatic,” the study authors concluded.</p><p>The study shows that romantic breakups among emerging adults can be traumatic events. However, the study was conducted on a small group of young adults. Results on other demographic groups might not be identical.</p><p>The paper, “Hippocampus, amygdala, and insula activation in response to romantic relationship dissolution stimuli: A case-case-control fMRI study on emerging adult students,” was authored by A.S.J. Van der Watt, S. Du Plessis, F. Ahmed, A. Roos, E. Lesch, and S.

Sometimes it’s because a food looks or smells unpleasant. Other times, it’s because the idea of eating it seems revolting. These two reactions—distaste and disgust—are often confused in everyday language but reflect distinct psychological processes. In a new study, researchers explored whether these emotional reactions vary depending on whether the rejected food is a plant or an animal product. The findings provide support for an evolutionary theory that humans developed disgust specifically to avoid the pathogens often found in meat.</p><p>The study, published in Appetite, aimed to understand how and why people reject commonly eaten foods. Previous research suggested that animal foods are more likely to elicit disgust, while plant-based foods are typically rejected for their taste. This distinction could have evolutionary roots: taste may have helped humans avoid bitter plant toxins, while disgust may have evolved as a defense against pathogens in meat. By better understanding these emotional reactions, researchers hope to inform interventions that promote healthier and more sustainable diets.</p><p>“In an earlier study, we found that 74% of vegetarians (but also 15% of flexitarians and even a small share of omnivores) said they were put off by meat, which made me wonder: is this just about taste, or are deeper psychological processes at play? That led us to investigate whether meat is rejected with the same kind of disgust we feel toward truly revolting things like feces or human flesh,” said Elisa Becker, a postdoctoral researcher at University of Oxford, who conducted the study while at the University of Exeter.</p><p>To test their hypothesis, the researchers conducted two online surveys using a total sample of 309 participants from the United Kingdom. The primary group included 252 people who had previously shown an aversion to meat—most of whom were vegetarians. A smaller control group of 57 meat-eating participants served as a comparison and provided a baseline for disgust reactions. All participants rated a series of food images on multiple psychological and emotional criteria, including how willing they were to eat the food, how they felt about its taste and appearance, and whether it triggered thoughts of contamination, death, or moral offense.</p><p>The researchers showed participants images of different types of food across four categories: palatable but commonly disliked vegetables (such as Brussels sprouts and olives), culturally acceptable meat (chicken, beef, and pork), classic disgust-inducing substances (like dog meat and feces), and a neutral control food (bread). They asked participants to rate these foods across 12 dimensions. Five of these dimensions related to general taste and disgust criteria, while the remaining seven measured specific subtypes of disgust: core disgust (e.g., nausea), animal-reminder disgust (e.g., reminders of death), and moral disgust (e.g., offense at the idea of eating the food).</p><p>Only participants who indicated that they were unwilling to eat a particular food were included in the main analyses for that item. This allowed the researchers to directly compare the psychological profiles of rejected foods. By analyzing the response patterns across various questions, they created “rejection profiles” for each food and used several statistical techniques to examine how similar or different these profiles were from one another.</p><p>The results showed a clear divide in how participants responded to meat versus vegetables. When people rejected meat, their reactions were emotionally similar to how the control group responded to images of dog meat and human feces. </p><p>“The immense similarity between responses to meat and classic disgust items like feces and human meat was striking,” Becker told PsyPost. “We expected some overlap, but the response profiles were almost indistinguishable.”</p><p>These meat rejection responses were characterized by high ratings on measures related to disgust, especially ideational contamination (the idea that even a tiny amount could ruin a dish) and incorporation (the thought of the food being in the body). In contrast, rejected vegetables were mostly rated negatively for their taste, with relatively low ratings on disgust-related dimensions.</p><p>A statistical method called multidimensional scaling confirmed these patterns. This technique allowed the researchers to visualize the emotional distance between different food responses on a two-dimensional map. Rejected meats and prototypical disgust elicitors like feces clustered tightly together, while vegetables formed a separate cluster aligned with distaste. Bread appeared far from both groups, consistent with its role as a neutral control food.</p><p>To investigate further, the researchers looked into the subtypes of disgust experienced when meat was rejected. They found that core disgust—responses related to nausea and the thought of the food being in the mouth—was the dominant reaction across all meat stimuli. Moral disgust (e.g., finding the act of eating meat offensive) and animal-reminder disgust (e.g., being reminded of body parts or death) were present but less strongly endorsed. This pattern was also found in reactions to dog meat and human flesh, suggesting that meat rejection among vegetarians shares emotional qualities with some of the most deeply held food taboos.</p><p>“Our study shows that when someone is ‘put off’ by meat it triggers the same gut-level disgust as the most revolting substances we can imagine,” Becker explained. “Disliked vegetables on the other hand do not trigger this response – they were rejected purely because of their taste or texture. This helps explain why some people have very strong negative feelings about meat.”</p><p>The study also included an open-ended section where participants could describe any additional feelings about the foods. These qualitative responses aligned with the quantitative findings. People who rejected meat often used language associated with contamination, moral harm, or decay. Even when other types of disgust were mentioned, core disgust themes were nearly always present.</p><p>While the study design provided strong evidence for different rejection mechanisms, it did have some limitations. The researchers relied on self-report measures, which can be influenced by how people interpret and respond to survey questions. Most participants in the meat-rejecting group were vegetarians, and the sample was predominantly female, which could affect generalizability. Additionally, because the study focused on subjective ratings rather than physiological or behavioral data, future research using other methods could help validate the findings.</p><p>Despite these limitations, the study highlights a meaningful distinction in how people relate to different types of food. By showing that disgust, not just dislike, drives many meat rejections, the researchers argue that disgust may have originally evolved as a specialized defense against contaminated meat. Over time, this reaction may have become more generalized, serving as a psychological alarm system for anything that poses a pathogen threat.</p><p>Looking ahead, the researchers hope to better understand how these food-related emotions develop. “I’d like to understand how these emotional responses to food develop over time,” Becker said. “Disgust doesn’t start developing in children until they’re about 3-5 years old, by which time most already eat meat. So when and how does meat disgust start? These questions are important if we want to support healthier and more sustainable diets.”</p><p>“The really cool thing about this is that disgust is a psychological alarm system that evolved to protect us from getting sick, from getting in touch with parasites or pathogens. These are health threats found especially in meat. It makes sense then, that humans can respond with disgust to anything that could be contaminated – feces, for example, but also any kind of meat! It makes less sense to be disgusted by a vegetable, and we’ve found support for this theory.”</p><p>The study, “Disgust and distaste – Differential mechanisms for the rejection of plant- and animal-source foods,” was authored by Elisa Becker and Natalia S. Lawrence.</p><p>URL: <a href="https://www.psypost.org/disgust-toward-meat-may-be-a-relic-of-our-evolutionary-past/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">psypost.org/disgust-toward-mea</span><span class="invisible">t-may-be-a-relic-of-our-evolutionary-past/</span></a></p><p>-------------------------------------------------</p><p>Private, vetted email list for mental health professionals: <a href="https://www.clinicians-exchange.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">clinicians-exchange.org</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Unofficial Psychology Today Xitter to toot feed at Psych Today Unofficial Bot <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/@PTUnofficialBot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>PTUnofficialBot</span></a></span></p><p>NYU Information for Practice puts out 400-500 good quality health-related research posts per week but its too much for many people, so that bot is limited to just subscribers.
