A psychopath is fully aware of his actions. Psychopathic behavior sometimes even quite charming, polite and rarely to be emotional. Psychopaths who rarely spoke spontaneously because every talk he will need time to think.


Recent research conducted Michael Koenigs, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health found differences in the brains of psychopaths and speech patterns may explain the anti-social behavior.

To examine the involvement of emotion from speech patterns, researchers looked at a number of factors. These factors include how often psychopaths describe his crime by using the past tense. Tells the thrilling events of the past can be an indicator of psychological detachment.

The researchers also found that interfere with speech dysfluencies in psychopaths. Dysfluencies indicates that the speaker takes some time to think about what they would say.

According to new research results, the differences in psychopathic brain may help explain their anti-social behavior. The new results have been published in the latest issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.

Psychopaths are not the same as insane, schizophrenia, or psychosis as a psychopath is fully aware of his actions. Symptoms alone are often referred to as psychopathy, psychopathic patients are often referred to as a madman without mental disorders.

Psychopathic symptoms Diagnosis requires strict observation and in-depth interviews are needed, as well as other observations. Experts estimate that about 1 percent of the world population was diagnosed as a psychopath.

Research conducted to look into the minds of psychopaths have shown differences in brain structure psychopath. In addition to the differences found in brain structure are also found differences in speech patterns of psychopaths.

In the study conducted brain scans on psychopaths imprisoned Wisconsin. Researchers found a weak relationship between the parts of the brain associated with empathy and decision making. Section is known as the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), and other parts of the brain.

By using two types of images, the researchers compared the brains of male prisoners who are diagnosed as a psychopath with detainees who are not diagnosed with a psychopath.

In the prisoners psychopaths, the researchers found a weak association between the vmPFC and other parts of the brain, including the amygdala. The amygdala itself is associated with emotions, memory and fear.

"Interaction between vmPFC and amygdala are believed to underlie the regulatory aspects of emotion, aggression, and the strength of stimulus associations," the researchers said as quoted by FoxNewsHealth.

The study was based on previous research. Previous research conducted by Koenigs and Joseph Newman, a professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin Madison. The results of previous studies showed psychopaths respond to retrieval tests in a way resembles a patient who suffered damage to the vmPFC.

"Two structures in the brain, which is believed to have a function to regulate emotions and social behavior, apparently did not communicate properly. So emotional and social behavior of people with psychopaths can be very different from normal people," said Koenigs.
