Yes, really. What prompted this study is unclear. But a team of researchers, led by University of Porto biomedical scientist Carolina Costa, say they’ve found the first-ever evidence of how microbiota could influence t…

Organisms Living Inside Psychopaths Could Be Driving Bad Behavior, Scientists Claim

In bound-to-be-controversial new research, scientists claim they’ve discovered a link between the specific balance of microflora in the gut and psychopathic behavior As detailed in a yet-to-be-peer-reviewed study, a team of researchers led by University of Porto biomedical scientist Carolina Costa say they’ve found the first-ever evidence of how microbiota could influence traits linked to psychopathy — a controversial personality construct chara…

Psychopathic Traits May Be Linked To 3 Gut And Mouth Bacteria

Researchers think that our gut microbiome (the tiny ecosystem of microbes like bacteria and viruses in our intestines) might inform everything from our productivity to our dementia risk.And though it’s yet to be peer-reviewed, a new paper published in Translational Psychiatry has suggested the environments in our guts and mouths might be linked to psychopathic traits, too.The authors of the manuscript say their findings could point towards a “no…
