What is the neurodevelopmental theory of pedophilia?
On Jul 18, 2024
It has been proposed that neurodevelopmental problems in utero or in early childhood development may be associated with increased risk of pedophilia. Relative to their counterparts, individuals with pedophilia more frequently display non-right handedness, and minor physical anomalies. They also are more likely to have had a head injury before the age of 13, and to have lower IQ. There also are several brain differences that distinguish pedophiles from non-pedophiles e.g., cortical regions associated with recognition of sexual stimuli. There is no definitive conclusion regarding pedophilia as a neurodevelopmental disorder. Much more research is needed as there has been considerable methodological variability across studies.
