Dramatic advances in the understanding of the neurobiological bases of human behavior have prompted excitement and controversy surrounding the ethical, legal, and social applications of this knowledge. The authors critically examine the promise and challenges of integrating genomic and neuroimaging techniques into legal settings. They suggest criteria for enhancing the viability of incorporating these data within a legal context and highlight several recent developments that may eventually allow genetic and neuroimaging evidence to meet these criteria and play a more prominent role in forensic science and law.
神经生物学基础对人类行为的理解取得了显著的进步，这引发了围绕该知识的伦理、法律和社会应用的兴奋和争议。作者批判性地考察了将基因组和神经影像学技术整合到法律环境中的前景和挑战。他们提出了增强将这些数据纳入法律框架内的可行性的标准，并强调了一些最近的发展，这些发展最终可能使遗传和神经影像学证据符合这些标准，并在法医学和法律中发挥更突出的作用。
