Those individuals who commit multiple murders have long fascinated researchers, investigators, and the public alike. As scientists learn more about the neurobiological underpinnings of behavior, including violent, criminal behavior, we can begin to understand more about what serial killers think and feel, which can begin to shed light on the motivation behind their behaviors. In this class, we will explore who commits multiple murders and why they do it from a neuroscientific perspective.
