Chunk #20 — Neurocognitive and Brain Functional Response Systems and Their Operational Relationships to the Undercontrol/Disinhibition Developmental Pathway
A thorough developmental systems analysis of the undercontrol/disinhibition pathway requires characterization of bidirectional influences across levels of system ranging from the social contextual to the behavioral, to the neural, to the genetic (Gottlieb, 2003). Fortunately for our purposes here, characterization of cross-system relationships pertaining to the undercontrol/disinhibition domain have been central to the field for some time, and a substantial amount of work, both cross-sectional and developmental, now exists on the linkages between behavior, neurocognition, and brain response. (Studies involving genetic relationships are not covered.)
