NPR Three-peat on Neuroscience and Responsibility

Barbara Hagerty recently ran three pieces for NPR on the relationship between recent advances in science--especially MAOA research and work on psychopathy--and responsibility:

  2. "Inside a Psychopath's Brain"
  3. "Can Your Genes Make You Murder?"

As always, happy reading!
