The Neuroscience of Revenge: Can It Be Rewired?

From StarTalk.

The interview explores the biological and psychological underpinnings of human violence, particularly focusing on how dysfunction in the prefrontal cortex—exacerbated by addiction or genetics—can impair decision-making and lead to violent behavior. The speakers propose that compulsive revenge-seeking may be treated like addiction using established therapeutic and medical interventions.
