Abstract

The aim of the study is to analyze the scientific literature and evidence on the mechanisms of functional connectivity involved in moral cognition processes in youth with psychopathy traits. Scientometric methods of citation networks based on graph theory were used. Bibliometrix, Sci2 Tool, and Gephi were used for the analysis. It was found that the dorsal and ventral regions of the prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, amygdala, hippocampus, angular gyrus, anterior cingulate and temporal cortex evidence functional alterations in young people with psychopathic traits. It was also reported that graymatter concentration in the left posterior and right anterior cingulate are possible endophenotypes of psychopathic traits. The theoretical, empirical, and legal implications of a moral neural perspective of psychopathy andantisocial behavior are discussed. The results demonstrated that psychopathic traits, which occasionally lead to criminal and violent behaviors, have a neurobiological basis related to moral cognition processes. However, a neuronal moral model has theoretical and practical limitations, as well as legal implications for free will and moral agency capacity.
青少年道德认知的功能连接性与精神变态特质:科学文献分析
本研究的目的是分析有关具有心理变态特征的青少年道德认知过程中功能连接机制的科学文献和证据。研究采用了基于图论的引文网络科学计量方法。分析中使用了 Bibliometrix、Sci2 Tool 和 Gephi。研究发现,具有精神变态特质的青少年的前额叶皮层、眶额皮层、杏仁核、海马、角回、扣带回前部和颞叶皮层的背侧和腹侧区域出现了功能性改变。另据报道,左后扣带回和右前扣带回的灰质浓度可能是精神变态特质的内表型。研究还讨论了从道德神经角度看待精神病态和社会行为的理论、实证和法律意义。研究结果表明,偶尔会导致犯罪和暴力行为的精神变态特质具有与道德认知过程相关的神经生物学基础。然而,神经元道德模型在理论和实践上都有局限性,对自由意志和道德代理能力也有法律影响。
