Neuroscience of Externalization

Problems with self-regulation, including impulsivity, violence, sensation-seeking, and rule-breaking, are indicative of an externalizing risk pathway. A discrepancy exists between bottom-up reward-related circuitry, such as the ventral striatum (VS), and top-down inhibitory control circuitry, which is located in the prefrontal cortex (PFC), linking externalizing behaviors. Externalization is often related to Substance Use Disorders.
