- Describe one study related to localisation of function [9]
- The main focus of your answer should be on describing the amygdala and how it is involved in lack of inhibition for violent behaviour, fearlessness etc. Describe differences in metabolic activity in particular lower activity in the left amygdala between murderers and controls.
- Raine can be used in an essay on research methods used in the study of brain and behaviour. It was a quasi-experiment. Focus on how the IV was naturally occuring, high controls gained from experimental procedure and ability to establish cause and effect
