It decreases activity in the
ventromedial prefrontal cortex, deficits in which are associated with psychopathy.
Interestingly, as I've just pointed out in Chat, lesions to the
ventromedial prefrontal cortex have been found to impair the ability of people to discern differences between the sexes. I have hypothesized based upon this finding that sexual and perhaps even racial egalitarianism, or the idea that notions of sexual and racial differences are socialized and not innate, is a mere projection of psychopathic attitudes onto the wider population, which mimics these psychopathic attitudes out of a desire for social status, given how fashionable, desirable, and powerful psychopaths tend to be in our decadent age.
