This project examined functional brain features of aggression across the literature

This project employed advanced statistical approaches to redress issues in the field examining antisocial phenotypes in relation to executive functions. We found some support for existing literature while extending it to demonstrate distinct brain and executive function associations in the presence of Callout-Unemotional traits and Conduct Problems.

This original data collection (PI Winters) tests the impact of cognitive control on affective theory of mind in a sample of early adolescents that vary on callous-unemotional traits.

This project examined the extend to which perspective-taking accounted for the relatoinship between cognitive control and perspective taking as well as the underlying functional brain properties of these assocaitions.

Here we examined the relationship between the brain and empathy in the presence of callous-unemotoinal traits. Result suggest the relationship between the brain and affective empathy is different in the presence of callous-unemotoinal traits - specifically between DMN and FPN connectivity changes in its relationship with affective empathy in the presence of callous-unemotoinal traits in adolescents.

Callous-unemotional (CU) traits in adolescents are a dimensional construct involving a symptom subset of empathy impairments amongst …

To improve our mechanistic understanding adolescent callous-unemotional traits, we used a novel connectivity method to examine network topology in adolescent brains and how connection density and node centrality was different in the presence of callous-unemotional traits.
