Antisocial behaviour orders are legally constituted civil orders which aim to stop undesirable behaviour as part of United Kingdom government plans for crime reduction.

Altered Neural Responses to Punishment Learning in Conduct Disorder.

Biol Psychiatry Cogn Neurosci Neuroimaging

January 2025

Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, TUD Dresden University of Technology, German Center for Child and Adolescent Health (DZKJ), partner site Leipzig/Dresden, Dresden, Germany.

Objective: Conduct disorder (CD) is associated with deficits in the use of punishment for reinforcement learning (RL) and subsequent decision-making, contributing to reckless, antisocial, and aggressive behaviors. Here, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine whether differences in behavioral learning rates derived from computational modeling, particularly for punishment, are reflected in aberrant neural responses in youths with CD compared to typically-developing controls (TDCs).

Methods: 75 youths with CD and 99 TDCs (9-18 years, 47% girls) performed a probabilistic RL task with punishment, reward, and neutral contingencies.
