And what that means is that the child was capable of acting differently, of making a different choice, that the child knew what he or she was doing and really decided to disregard the possible consequences. Stress behaviour is a red brain behaviour.&nbsp; And stress behaviour means that the child had very little awareness of what he was doing or why, really did not choose to act the way he did and could not have prevented himself. These are really strong, powerful urges that come up from the limbic system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our neural lab we were studying the anterior cingulate and when the prefrontal cortex is in control and you look at the images, they\u2019re all blue.
