Gay Cruising Signals Truck Driver

The dark secret of a neuroscientist


Before you start telling this story, I would say that my interest began when I realized that the protagonist of this story works no more than 5 minutes from where I study and live. I had chills when I read this story on NPR

, not only by the proximity to my home but it is dark.


James Fallon is a neuroscientist doing research on the brains of sociopaths and serial murderers. He works at the University of California at Irvine, the campus in which I study.


From a young age was fascinated Fallon brains of murderers and studied them with passion and interest. After years of research, he discovered that all murderers have problems with the brain. According to him, the orbital cortex of the human brain determines whether a person has or has not

be a murderer. In the murderers the orbital cortex area is dark and no activity, resulting in a person without morals or ethics. According to Fallon, people without morals or ethics usually make sociopaths (or at least shy person).



One day, the grandmother of Fallon told his family someone was a murderer. After researching your family tree, Fallon ran into her cousin killed her husband and children.

also discovered that an uncle was lynched in a town for killing his former wife. Fallon was shocked and ordered a brain scan of all members in your family. Was relieved when he saw that the orbital cortex of everyone in your family had too much color and activity.


then analyzed his own brain ...


James Fallon saw his orbital cortex was black and dark, like the brains of murderers whom he studied. Fallon decided that this would be his dark secret and not tell anyone.

Fallon's brain (right) shows the dark side of the orbital cortex. The other seat is your child's brain.



After further years of research to discover that Fallon could be a murderer a person needs three ingredients:


1.

free Orbital Cortex Activity



2.

Genes of aggression (also found in himself and others in his family)



3.

abuse / violence in their childhood


Fallon said that his childhood was one of the best and received much love. Although he says 'I am a born murderer' does not worry that one day going to kill his wife.


Fallon's findings
and will help us deal with this discomfort and how to perceive these people in court. Still, Fallon has not killed anyone (hopefully never happens) and his wife was precupa.
