A recent study reveals a potential link between brain damage and criminal behavior, specifically highlighting the disruption of the uncinate fasciculus pathway. Researchers found that damage to this area, which connects emotion and decision-making regions, correlates with increased criminal activity. The findings raise ethical questions about culpability and the role of brain injury in legal responsibility.Is there a link between brain injury and criminal behaviour?
