Localisation of increased prefrontal white matter in pathological liars.
Source: British Journal of Psychiatry 2007 Feb;190:174-175.
Author: Yang Y, Raine A, Narr KL, Lencz T, LaCasse L, Colletti P, Toga AW.
PubMed ID: 17267937
Abstract:
We examined white matter volumes in four prefrontal subregions using structural magnetic resonance imaging in 10 pathological liars, 14 antisocial controls, and 20 normal controls. Liars showed a relatively widespread increase in white matter (23-36%) in orbitofrontal, middle and inferior, but not superior, frontal gyri compared with antisocial and normal controls. This white matter increase may predispose some individuals to pathological lying.
