Brain change link to anti-social behaviour in girls

http://www.bbc.com/news/health-20002093


Brain scans showed significant differences


The brains of teenage girls with behavioural disorders are different to those of their peers, UK researchers have found.

The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry study of 40 girls revealed differences in the structure of areas linked to empathy and emotions.

Previous work has found similar results in boys.

Experts suggest it may be possible to use scans to spot problems early, then offer social or psychological help.

Experience in dealing with my mother and sisters shows me that the empathy and emotion quadrants are definitely lacking!

If we work on interjecting empathy into these young ones the R party may disappear altogether!
