Psychopathische Mörder sind der Stoff manch sehenswerter Fernsehfilme, aber was eigentlich geht in solchen Menschen vor? Der Neurowissenschaftler Jim Fallon referiert über Gehirnuntersuchungen und genetische Analysen, die die unheilvollen Verbindungen in den Erbanlagen (und in der Erziehung) von Mördern aufdecken könnten. Und er gibt dem Ganzen eine äußerst unglaubliche Wendung, indem er uns eine faszinierende Familiengeschichte mitteilt, die seine Arbeit erschreckend persönlich macht.

Sloan Scholar, Fulbright Fellow, Professor Emeritus of Neuroscience, Jim Fallon looks at the way nature and nurture intermingle to wire up the human brain. Full bio »
