The scientific researches have shown recently that there is a kind of dissimilarity between the brains of belligerent and antisocial male teenagers and the common ones. They point at a difference in the brain's grey matter of boys with conduct disorder compared with the normal teenagers.
Conduct disorder means increased tendency to belligerent and antisocial behaviour and it can begin in an early childhood or later, in adolescence. Boys who suffer from this illness, have the two parts of their brains, the amygdala and the insula greatly smaller than the healthy boys. It makes clear why they have problems with recognizing other's people sentiments. That's because these two regions of the brain are responsible for emotion, perception and empathy.
The researchers say that new, additional tests are needed to find out if these transformations in brain are a cause or a result of the conduct disorder.
