In this project I researched serial killers and I tried to find out if they had brain damage. I also researched the brain to see what part of the brain was mostly affected when someone is very aggressive. For my art project I sculpted a brain out of modeling clay and then made a mold and casted it to make a silicone version of the brain.

The frontal lobe of the brain can affect thinking ahead and thinking about consequences of what is going to happen after a bad action is done. A lot of serial killers can be linked back to having late frontal lobe development or to having damage to their frontal lobe, or areas near the frontal lobe such as the amygdala, hippocampus, or the ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex (vmPFC).
