In a chilling finding, the researchers found aggressive youths appear to enjoy inflicting pain on others.
Yeah. Big "duh" there.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

There always seems to be at least one of these statements in any kind of psychological paper or article I've read.

I'm guessing you could find lots of differing brain patterns for different personality types. It's interesting that they can now be mapped, but I'd not call an individual who is more predisposed to a certain behavior abnormal. I'd also be very careful about trying to 'modify' someone's natural tendencies. At least not if their behavior is within acceptable societal bounds.
At one point in man's history, people whom we now may term 'bully', could very well have been successful leaders. Still, I'm guessing many of our career military folks probably fall the far end of the brain empathy impulse curve.

If not at the beginning of their career, certainly by the end.
Which brings up the chicken/egg question: are people lacking in empathy born, or made? And if they're made, do their brain patterns change over time?

Not sure it that's something learned or not. Probably a combination of both.
