[1] What makes a teenager grow up to live a normal life
while another turns to murder?
Researchers suggest the answer may lie in a part of
the brain that controls planning, reasoning and impulse
[5] control. Studies are revealing physiological differences
between the brains of normal people and those of people
who kill.
‘‘There is clearly a biological predisposition to violence,’’
says psychologist Adrian Raine of the University of
[10] Southern California. ‘‘We know there are murderers who
don’t have the usual signs - a history of child abuse,
poverty, domestic violence, brocken homes - and yet they
commit violence. Research suggests the cause may lie
internally, in terms of abnormal biological functioning.’’
[15] Raine led studies comparing the brains of 41 murderers
with those of 41 nonviolent people matched by age and gender.
He found that ‘‘murderers have poorer functioning of the
pre-frontal cortex, the part of the brain located above the eyes,
behind the forehead. This is the part of the brain that controls
[20] regulating behaviors - the part that says ‘wait a minute’.’’
In another study, Raine divided the murderers into two
groups: those from healthy, stable family backgrounds and those
from abusive, dysfunctional homes. ‘‘It’s the murderers from
good home environments who have the poorest brain
[25] functioning,’’ he says.

I started to run because I felt desperately unfit. But the biggest pay-off for me was – and still is – the deep relaxation that I achieve by taking exercise. It tires me out but I find that it does calm me down. When I started running seven years ago, I could manage only 400 meters before I had to stop. Breathless and aching, I walked the next quarter of a mile, alternating these two activities for a couple of kilometers.
When I started to jog I never dreamt of running in a marathon, but a few years later I realized that if I trained for it, the London Marathon, one of the biggest British sporting events, would be within my reach. My story shows that an unfit 39-year-old, as I was when I started running, who had taken no serious exercise for twenty years, can do the marathon – and that this is a sport in which women can beat men. But is it crazy to do it? Does it make sense to run in the expectation of becoming healthier?
My advice is: if you are under forty, healthy and feel well, you can begin as I did by jogging gently until you are out of breath, then walking, and alternating the two for about three kilometers. Build up the jogging in stages until you can do the whole distance comfortably.
