In fMRI scans of the frontal lobe of antisocial adolescents, we learn that it is dysfunctional when compared to the normal or average juvenile. As a result, executive functions, such as self-regulation and inhibitory control, concept-formation, abstract reasoning, and problem-solving behavior are largely impaired, putting adolescents with this lobe dysfunctions at risk for being antisocial. Despite arguments from other scholars putting forth that the reason for antisocial behavior in this case is a result hyperactivity and ADHD, the impairment of executive functions that is common amongst studies make researchers more inclined to believe it is as a result of lobe
