杏仁核受损的人识别恐惧的能力受到损害，有趣的是，在成人精神病患者中，我们证实具有精神变态特征的儿童存在识别恐惧的缺陷。我们首次证明，就像杏仁核受损的患者一样，这种缺陷可以通过简单地让他们专注于其他人的眼睛来暂时纠正。这些数据支持强调杏仁核特定功能障碍的精神病模型，并提出了一种早期干预精神病发展的创新方法。
The ability to recognise fear is impaired in people with damage to the amygdala and, interestingly, in adult psychopathy Here we confirm that deficits in recognising fear exist in children with psychopathic traits. We show for the first time that, as with patients with amygdala damage, this deficit can be temporarily corrected by simply asking them to focus on the eyes of other people. These data support models of psychopathy that emphasise specific dysfunction of the amygdala and suggest an innovative approach for intervening early in the development of psychopathy.
