Daniel Reisel dedícase a estudar o cerebro dos psicópatas (e o dos ratos). E faise unha pregunta moi importante: No canto de ter a estes criminais simplemente pechados, non deberiamos facer uso do que sabemos sobre o cerebro para axudarlles a rehabilitarse? Noutras palabras, se o cerebro pode desenvolver vías neuronais novas tras unha lesión, poderiamos axudarlle tamén a rexenerar o sentido moral?

Daniel Reisel: A neurociencia da xustiza restaurativa

A neurociencia da xustiza restaurativa

Neurogenesis reveals our brains can evolve in adulthood, hinting at a potential to rewire morality and rehabilitate criminals.

Restorative justice, by stimulating the perpetrator's empathy through victim interaction, might offer a path to rehabilitation.

Incarceration that inhibits brain development contrasts with enriched environments that promote neurogenesis and social behavior.
