德国科学家发现人脑“罪恶斑” 病变者66%犯重罪

不莱梅大学的杰哈德·罗斯展示从罪犯大脑前下方发现的“罪恶斑”。
扫描图像上，罪犯大脑前下方的黑斑清晰可见。该黑斑被罗斯教授称为“罪恶的渊薮”。
德国科学家发现人脑“罪恶斑” 天生犯罪说添新证据
通过对罪犯的大脑进行X光扫描，德国不莱梅大学神经病学教授杰哈德·罗斯发现，罪犯大脑的前方均有一块黑色的斑块。他称之为“罪恶斑”。
本报讯 犯罪是一种病吗？至少德国神经病学家杰哈德·罗斯认为是的。
手术摘除可恢复正常
“当你对惯犯的大脑进行扫描的时候，你能看到他们大脑的前下方总是有严重的缺陷。”罗斯告诉《每日邮报》，“由此证明，一个人犯罪，往往是因为他大脑的那块区域出现了肿瘤或者受到了损伤。只要通过外科手术摘除肿瘤，他又完全可以恢复正常……那块地方正是罪恶的渊薮。”
单胺氧化酶基因起作用
持此观点的绝不止罗斯教授一人。美国新墨西哥大学心理学副教授肯特·基尔曾对威斯康星州和新墨西哥州监狱的约2000名罪犯做过大脑核磁共振扫描，结果发现他们的大脑扫描图像具有一个共同的特征。“如果你举止怪异，你肯定会有一个与众不同的大脑。”2012年基尔参加杜克大学的一个学术会议时说。
基尔发现，单胺氧化酶(MAOA)基因对人的暴力行为具有重要作用。他说，如果一个人具有单胺氧化酶基因，同时又来自压抑的环境，他采取暴力攻击行为的可能性就会大得多。单胺氧化酶基因对人类大脑某些部分灰白质密度的变化起着决定性作用，而大脑灰白质又是导致人类精神变态的决定因素。
出现病变者66%犯重罪
罗斯对基尔的观点深表赞同：“当我看见一个年轻人，发现他的大脑前下方开始出现病变，那我几乎可以肯定，他有66%的可能成为重罪犯。”
“(越来越多的心理学家)相信，精神变态，比如孤独症，是典型的神经病前兆——一个人5岁的时候就可以检查出来。”《纽约时报》2012年5月曾报道说，“因为诊断结果很客观，不会随人的情感改变而改变，所以被绝大多数研究者用作鉴别‘初期精神病患者’的主要手段。”
不过，罗斯认为这项研究并不是万无一失的。罗斯告诉《每日邮报》，“大脑有时可以抵消暴力倾向，只不过现在还不清楚该过程是如何进行的。” （中新）
Where evil lurks: Neurologist discovers 'dark patch' inside the brains of killers and rapists
Scans reveal a patch at the front of the brain can be seen in people with records for criminal violence
German scientist who made the discovery classifies evil in three groups
PUBLISHED: 15:32 GMT, 5 February 2013 | UPDATED: 23:29 GMT, 5 February 2013
A German neurologist claims to have found the area of the brain where evil lurks in killers, rapists and robbers.
Bremen scientist Dr Gerhard Roth says the 'evil patch' lies in the brain's central lobe and shows up as a dark mass on X-rays.
He discovered it when investigating violent convicted offenders over the years for German government studies.
Dr Gerhard Roth demonstrates where the 'evil patch' can be identified in the brains of those inclined to violence
Scans studied by Dr Roth indicate that the patch he says is associated with wicked behaviour is found at the front of the brain
'We showed these people short films and measured their brain waves,' he said.
'Whenever there were brutal and squalid scenes the subjects showed no emotions. In the areas of the brain where we create compassion and sorrow, nothing happened.'
The dark mass at the front of the brain, he says, appears in all scans of people with records for criminal violence.
He says his researches have led him to believe that some criminals have a 'genetic predisposition' to violence.
He added: 'When you look at the brain scans of hardened criminals, there are almost always severe shortcomings in the lower forehead part of the brain.
'There are cases where someone becomes criminal as a result of a tumour or an injury in that area, and after an operation to remove the tumour, that person was completely normal again.
Dictators: Josef Stalin (left) and Adolf Hitler (right) belong to Dr Roth's third group - pure psychopaths
'Or there are physiological deficits, because certain substances such as serotonin in the forebrain are not working effectively.
'But this is definitely the region of the brain where evil is formed and where it lurks.
More...
'Of course it is not automatic. The brain can compensate somewhat for violent tendencies and it is unclear how that works.
WHAT IS A PSYCHOPATH?
Psychpathy is a personality disorder that has been variously characterised by shallow emotions (including reduced fear, a lack of empathy, and stress tolerance), coldheartedness, egocentricity, superficial charm, manipulativeness, irresponsibility, impulsivity, criminality, antisocial behavior, a lack of remorse, and a parasitic lifestyle.
Terrorists are sometimes called psychopaths, and comparisons can be drawn with traits such as antisocial violence, a selfish worldview that precludes welfare for others, lack of remorse or guilt, and blaming external events.
While no psychiatric or psychological organisation has sanctioned a diagnosis of 'psychopathy' itself, assessments of psychopathy are widely used in criminal justice settings in some nations and may have important consequences for individuals.
'But when I will look at young people, and I see there are developmental disorders in the lower forehead brain, I can say that there is a felon in the making with 66 per cent probability.
'It is easy to spot this anti-social behaviour from very early on.'
Dr Roth said no two criminals are alike. He divides them into three groups for the purposes of his hunt for evil.
The first he classifies as 'psychologically healthy,' people who grow up in an environment where it is 'OK to beat, steal and murder'.
The second type is the mentally disturbed criminal who looks at his world as threatening.
'A wrong look, one false move, he can explode and become a killer,' he said.
The third group are pure psycopaths, a group in which tyrants such as Hitler and Stalin belong.
He said not all monsters are born and that many are made worse by their environments on their roads to evil.
He added: 'Experts detect a mental decline in some people that begins in the kindergarten. It is the task of society to offer widespread support to the children and their parents before they become criminals.'
Dr Roth is one of Germany's best-known brain specialists and has was at the forefront of calling for sentencing reforms a few years ago.

The results are very interesting But scientifically, you can't jump from observing a dark patch at the front of the brain to a 'genetic predisposition' to violence because there is no proof whether it's genetic or not The dark patch may be the result of life choices of person rather than genes So more research needs to be done

Here is another possible theory based on the neurologist's findings: Think of "conscience" as the ability to look back at oneself, applying an inherent moral standard to one's thoughts and actions If one has a keen conscience, when that standard is not met the warning bell rings and calls attention to it Some, however, rather than changing their thoughts or actions to conform to that standard, simply start ignoring the warning bells Soon their consciences become more and more dull or even deadened This area of the frontal lobe is most likely the place where that process occurs The less one uses it, the more darkened that portion becomes
