Synopsis

Fifty percent of all child sexual abuse (CSA) perpetrators are individuals with pedophilic disorder. The neural underpinnings of pedophilic disorder are unknown. We conducted a case-control study aiming to investigate functional connectivity alterations using independent component analysis on resting state fMRI data in search of biomarkers that can be used for preventing CSA. The results suggest there are functional connectivity alterations in several resting state networks in individuals with pedophilic disorder.
