Psychopothy is a severe dissocial personality disorder. Central to this disorder are difficulties in emotion regulation empathy, learning from negative experiences and aggressive-impulsive behaviour. These functions are also impaired in traumatic "pseudopsychopathy". Modern neuroimaging approaches uncover the structural morphological and functional imaging variances in "psychopathy" as the neural basis of impaired emotion regulation. In this article the history of psychopathy, behavioural and personality factors, peripheral measures of neural activity and neuroimaging are illustrated considering latest research findings. These data suggest a neurobiological model of disturbed processing of aggression and emotion in severe dissocial personality disorders can be attributed by a neurobiological model. It is discussed whether a psychopath can be fully accountable for a criminal deed.
