Session Submission Summary

Neurobiological Factors for Antisocial Behaviors Among Youth Samples

Wed, Nov 13, 2:00 to 3:20pm, Nob Hill C - Lower B2 Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

Prior research has suggested that factors related to antisocial behavior among youth do not fully overlap with those related to antisocial behavior among adults. Given that adolescence is a crucial developmental period in life with significant neurobiological changes, understanding neurobiological factors that could underlie antisocial behavior during this life stage has important legal implications. This panel will examine how neurobiological factors -- such as brain injury, function, and development -- affect various antisocial outcomes and discuss relevant implications for juvenile justice.
