OBJECTIVE: Psychopathy is a personality disorder with symptoms that include lack
of empathy or remorse, antisocial behavior, and excessive self-focus. Previous
neuroimaging studies have linked psychopathy to dysfunction in the default mode
network (DMN), a brain network that deactivates during externally focused tasks
and is more engaged during self-referential processing. Specifically, the DMN has
been found to remain relatively active in individuals with psychopathic
tendencies during externally focused tasks, suggesting a failure to properly
deactivate. However, the exact extent and nature of task-induced DMN dysfunction
is poorly understood, including (a) the degree to which specific DMN subregions
are affected in criminal psychopaths, and (b) how activity in these subregions
relates to affective/interpersonal and antisocial/lifestyle traits of
psychopathy. METHOD: We performed a group independent component analysis to
assess DMN activation during a Go/NoGo task in a group of 22 high-psychopathy and
22 low-psychopathy prisoners. The identified group-level DMN was parcellated into
6 subregions, and group differences in task-induced activity were examined.
RESULTS: In general, DMN subregions failed to deactivate beneath baseline in the
high-psychopathy group. A group comparison with the low-psychopathy group
localized this attenuated task-induced deactivation to the posteromedial cortical
(mPC) region of the DMN. Moreover, multiple regression analyses revealed that
activity in the mPC was associated with affective/interpersonal traits of
psychopathy. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that attenuated deactivation of
the mPC subregion of the DMN is intrinsic to psychopathy, and is a pattern that
may be more associated with affective psychopathic traits, including lack of
concern for others.
