Abstract

The study compared bullies with non-bullies in terms of the volumetric correlations between the amygdala, nucleus accumbens, and orbitofrontal cortex, using neuroimaging. The results show that more positive correlations were found in bullies than non-bullies, suggesting that bully may be associated with structural synchronization among those emotion-related brain subregions.
