“…subjects with APD). The high father-son correlation in psychophysiological measures might point to a biological mediator through which a disposition for antisocial behavior is transmitted within families (Herpertz et al, 2007).…”

“…These so called ''early starters'' seem to have a great load of biological risk factors for antisocial development and therefore have been investigated intensively in recent years (Herpertz et al, 2005(Herpertz et al, , 2007Konrad, Neufang, Hanisch, Fink, & Herpertz-Dahlmann, 2006). Today neuroimaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide a unique chance to investigate structural and functional abnormalities that go along with neuropsychiatric disorders in childhood.…”

We describe the developmental taxonomy of children with CD and focus on those with the early onset subtype. Structural MRI data of these children and antisocial adults are recapitulated. The impact of investigating neurobiological underpinnings of antisocial behavior and how this might contribute to future forensic and psychiatric assessments is discussed. RESULTS/ CONCLUSION: Children display similar structural aberrations of fronto-limbic structures to adults with antisocial behavior, and amygdala dysfunction might be closely related to dysregulated emotions. Though the investigation of biological factors in antisocial subjects has made great progress in recent years, today MRI is still a rather complex, expensive and indistinct method for forensic assessment.

“…Several lines of evidence support this notion of a link between emotion processing and aggression. Both children and adults displaying antisocial and violent behaviour show abnormally low autonomic arousal (Blair et al, 1997; Blair, 1999; Raine, 2002; Herpertz et al, 2003, 2005, 2007; Loney et al, 2003). But also the recognition of emotional cues such as sad and fearful facial expressions is impaired in children with antisocial behaviour, especially in those with callous-unemotional traits (Blair et al, 2001; Loney et al, 2003).…”

In recent years, a number of functional and structural neuroimaging studies have investigated the neural bases of aggressive and violent behaviour in children and adolescents. Most functional neuroimaging studies have persued the hypothesis that pathological aggression is a consequence of deficits in the neural circuits involved in emotion processing. There is converging evidence for abnormal neural responses to emotional stimuli in youths with a propensity towards aggressive behaviour. In addition, recent neuroimaging work has suggested that aggressive behaviour is also associated with abnormalities in neural processes that subserve both the inhibitory control of behaviour and the flexible adaptation of behaviour in accord with reinforcement information. Structural neuroimaging studies in children and adolescents with conduct problems are still scarce, but point to deficits in brain structures in volved in the processing of social information and in the regulation of social and goal-directed behaviour. The indisputable progress that this research field has made in recent years notwithstanding, the overall picture is still rather patchy and there are inconsistencies between studies that await clarification. Despite this, we attempt to provide an integrated view on the neural abnormalities that may contribute to various forms of juvenile aggression and violence, and discuss research strategies that may help to provide a more profound understanding of these important issues in the future.
