Systematic meta-analysis of the role effect of anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and amygdala in criminal behavior
Study of brain malfunctioning effects on the behavior of criminal had been carried out ever since 18th century. There are many region of interest of the brain considered to play this important role.

| description | Study of brain malfunctioning effects on the behavior of criminal had been carried out ever
since 18th century. There are many region of interest of the brain considered to play this
important role. Two types of brain regions were used to study in this project, which were
anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and amygdala. ACC functions as recognizing faults or
deficits within certain standards, making expectations and predictions before carry out a task
and regulating emotions, while amygdala function in emotional processing such as fear, anger
and happiness. Meta-analysis method was used to study the role effect of ACC and amygdala
towards the behavior of criminals in terms of antisocial and aggressiveness. This method was
generally used because it was a statistical technique that can combine segregated independent
studies to come out with one stable summarization without prejudices and the net benefit
summative over included studies can be estimated. As a result, rostral ACC with -1.44 of
effect size and right amygdala with -2.35 of effect size had indicated a higher level of effects
compared to other brain regions. In summary, different regions of ACC and amygdala had
indicated different level of effects towards the behavior of a criminal, which will be discussed
further in this project, as well as for future treatment and implementation. |
