Researchers mapped the connections between the ventral striatum and other regions of the brain, and found that inmates with higher levels of psychopathy had weaker connections between the ventral striatum and the prefrontal cortex.
However, the remaining seven vSAGs (Supplementary Table 4), such as the autochthonous virus 88-3-L14 from the unexplored massive bathypelagic Atlantic Ocean biome (4,000 m depth) (Fig. 1; Supplementary Figs 7 and 8), had weaker connections within the viral network and were placed on the periphery of VCs, (Supplementary Fig. 7); consequently, they could represent novel genera.
Acknowledging that even students active in Jewish life often have weak connections to Israel, the Hillel classes also tried to impart facts, with a spin, about the history, the politics and the culture of the Middle East.
Even though indigenous peoples are often notably different from the dominant group (they usually are set apart not only by physical markers but also by language, religion, traditions, etc)., they tend to be badly organized, have weak connections among group members, and, consequently, are usually unable to voice their claims (mostly to land and access to resources) in a successful manner.

Men can leverage a large network into more senior positions or a seat on a more lucrative board; women don't seem to be able to.Women could just have weaker connections with members of their networks.
So the fact that this brain region appears not to work quite as well in psychopaths, and that it has weaker connections with other brain regions — like the ventral striatum in our paper, or the amygdala in other papers — suggest that this knocking-out or disrupting of this key node for simulation might have broad effects on behavior that include decision-making and interpersonal relations.
Those who scored higher on negative measures of personality and lifestyle -- including anger, rule-breaking, substance abuse and poor sleep quality -- tended to have weaker connections. .
(Note that these weights are based on a Hebbian principle, as cells with similar selectivity are endowed with stronger connections, whereas those with different selectivity have weaker connections).
