Background: cognitive impairments are comorbid for most mental disorders and can be important in assessing the ability of a subject to understand and control their actions in legally significant situations. The aim of review: аnalysis of neurobiological correlates and cognitive impairments in individuals suffering from mental disorders — organic personality disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, in the context of forensic psychiatric examination. Material and methods: using keywords: “cognitive impairments in schizophrenia”, “cognitive impairments in organic personality disorders”, “cognitive impairments in personality disorders”, “MRI in schizophrenia”, “MRI in organic personality disorder”, “MRI in personality disorder”, “forensic neuropsychology”, “schizophrenia and criminal actions”, “organic personality disorders and criminal actions”, “personality disorders and criminal actions” the search and analysis of scientific publications was carried out in PubMed, Scopus, and RSCI databases over the past 5 years. Conclusion: schizophrenia shows deviations in the functioning of frontal and temporal lobes characterized by cognitive impairments: executive functions, attention, auditory-verbal memory, psychomotor slowness, inconsistent behavior, and deficits in volitional efforts. Borderline personality disorder is associated with reduced volume of the anterior cingulate gyrus, hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex, dysfunctional interaction between limbic and prefrontal areas resulting in difficulties in emotion identification and impulsivity. Individuals with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and secondary personality disorders exhibit diffuse gray matter damage affecting frontal, temporal, and parietal regions, emphasizing dysfunction of limbic-reticular complex structures with cognitive impairments including decreased thinking speed, attention stability, executive functions, auditory-verbal memory, visual-spatial memory, visual-motor coordination, and decreased impulse control. Individuals with mental disorders who commit criminal acts often exhibit deficiencies in frontal lobes and associated disturbances in executive components of mental activity, particularly cognitive flexibility and planning. Neuropsychological methods for studying cognitive functions can be used to obtain additional information in forensic psychiatric examinations.

ObjectiveThis study explores the intricate relationship between cognitive functioning and aggression, with a specific focus on individuals prone to reactive or proactive aggression. The purpose of the study was to identify important neuropsychological constructs and suitable tests for comprehending and addressing aggression.MethodsAn international panel of 32 forensic neuropsychology experts participated in this three-round Delphi study consisting of iterative online questionnaires. The experts rated the importance of constructs based on the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) framework. Subsequently, they suggested tests that can be used to assess these constructs and rated their suitability.ResultsThe panel identified the RDoC domains Negative Valence Systems, Social Processes, Cognitive Systems and Positive Valence Systems as most important in understanding aggression. Notably, the results underscore the significance of Positive Valence Systems in proactive aggression and Negative Valence Systems in reactive aggression. The panel suggested a diverse array of 223 different tests, although they noted that not every RDoC construct can be effectively measured through a neuropsychological test. The added value of a multimodal assessment strategy is discussed.ConclusionsThis research advances our understanding of the RDoC constructs related to aggression and provides valuable insights for assessment strategies. Rather than suggesting a fixed set of tests, our study takes a flexible approach by presenting a top-3 list for each construct. This approach allows for tailored assessment to meet specific clinical or research needs. An important limitation is the predominantly Dutch composition of the expert panel, despite extensive efforts to diversify.
Introduction. The study is devoted to the description of the possibilities of the subjective approach to identifying the criminogenicity of the individual on the example of his/her relations to the social environment. It notes the disparate perceptions of criminogenicity, which requires the integration of scientific knowledge. The author suggests the possibilities of the subjective approach to describe the criminogenicity of personality. The specificity of the description of criminogenicity in individual-psychological and socioenvironmental concepts is determined. The current state of genetic and neuropsychological studies of personality criminogenicity is described. The role of socio-environmental concepts is revealed. The importance of society in the formation of criminogenicity is noted in the concepts of anomie, social control and socialisation of personality. The importance of subjective attitude mediating the influence of individualpsychological and social-mediological factors is emphasised. Methods. The methodology of the subject approach was applied in the research process, general scientific (induction, analysis, synthesis) and private-scientific (extrapolation) research methods were used. Results. The possibilities of the subjective approach to the analysis of the causes of criminogenicity of personality, which are not explained by individual-psychological and socio-environmental concepts of criminogenicity, are described. It is determined that criminogenicity can be considered as a socially negative form of self-actualisation of personality. The self-actualisationis explained through the purposeful manifestation of cognitive and regulatory abilities in order to achieve a personally significant goal. At the same time subjectivity is characterised by defects of moral and ethical sphere, allowing preferring criminal behaviour to law-abiding in the situation of choice. It is noted that the manifestation of subjectivity can be characterised in the context of relations to the social environment, acting as a means of achieving selfrealisation. The results extend and clarify the possibilities of the subjective approach as applied to the analysis of criminogenic personality. The peculiarities of the implementation of subjectivity of a criminogenic personality in terms of overcoming the difficulties of life activity, formation of self-relationship and involvement of others in self-realisation are shown. The prospects of studying the causes, state and characteristics of relations of criminogenic personality to social environment as a source of new information about criminalisation and decriminalisation of personality are outlined.
