A Brain Mechanism for Hate Taking the theories of hate and the studies on dehumanization into consideration, hate may depend on animalistic infrahumanization with heightened activity in the IFC facilitating disdain and disgust for the devalued target. The absence of moral emotional engagement, including hate, among frontolimbic brain-injured patients, such as those with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) (13), highlights the differential association of hate with animalistic dehumanization rather than with mechanistic dehumanization. Although the neuropathology of FTD is centered in the mesial frontal, anterior insula, and anterior temporal lobe structures (14)—regions purported to overlap with a proposed hate network (15)—patients with damage to these structures may have prominent mechanical dehumanization and indifference to others without the presence of hate. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
