#1 More on striatum found here.

"Results from recent imaging genetics studies suggest there may be a genetic basis to reward-related striatum activity that may increase the risk for impulsivity and reward dependency, such as that observed in psychopathy."

A "genetic" component? I am shocked that this study is seeing the light of day. SHOCKED !

#3 
Isn't this a form of "Phrenology" that Scotland Yard (criminolgy) and Nazi Germany (racism) and others (mental illness), have played with?

It was the "accepted science" back in the early to mid 1800's.

#4 Biological marks not disclosed; Liberal, socialist,and have large mouth projecting loud verbal abuses. Oblivious to thoughts divergent from their own. I think I just described the View, Mad Maxine, and AOC come to mind.

#8 ^ Sorry Mr B. but "Psychopathic individuals showed a 9.6% increase in striatum volumes". Such a small percentage would require further study for myself. Hardly a smoking gun; so to say, is not an example of prescient evidence in my humble opinion. OH, my I can see it now mass rapid testing with kits provided by China. Biden would go for that in a heart beat. WHO also if mass human sterilizations could be performed.Sorry , I seem to have wandered off into my rabbit hole. Scotty beam me back please.

#14 The guy in the old Midas commercials. Eugene was the guy who jacked up the old lady's car's rear end. "It feels like I'm going downhill, Eugene..."

#15 The San, people who invented Yoga 20,000 years ago. In the modern era (1967), famous 'San' tribal physician Dr. Christiaan Barnard performs world's first human-to-human heart transplant operation.

No, of course not. Genetics has nothing at all to do with anything. Move along please, nothing to see here.

#18 The San, people who invented Yoga 20,000 years ago. ...

Let's not forget famous African Elon Musk. Yoga, heart transplants, colonizing Mars... man, the San are definitely punching above their weight.

#19 Call me when the Mars colonization is underway. Like commercial nuclear fusion, it's "any day now."
