A person with antisocial personality disorder shows less activation in which part of the brain during the emotional process?
Answer: C
A person with antisocial personality disorder shows less activation of the amygdala during emotional processing, which fits the reduced fear and empathy seen in the disorder. The cerebellum is mainly for coordination, the hippocampus for memory, and the cerebrum is the large upper brain, not the specific structure named in this finding. Studies of antisocial and psychopathic individuals have found reduced amygdala volume or activation when they process emotional stimuli, which is thought to underlie the reduced fear responses and weak empathy of the disorder.
