Everyone uses different strategies while making risky decisions by Asian News International But adolescents with conduct disorder showed a greater activation of these pain regions and also showed activity in the amygdala and ventral striatum, areas of the brain tied to reward responses. Bullies' brains empathize, sort of by Quill, Elizabeth / Science News Pessiglione used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to find out what part of the brain was activated during the experiments and found that a region called the ventral striatum responded to the subliminal visual cues.
