| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the current study, we evaluated neurological changes among juvenile delinquents using MRI at the admission and leaving the facilities. Additionally, we evaluated their behavioral and psychological characteristics. That is, we examined the negative effects of experiencing child abuse and correctional educational effects in the facility. On comparison of Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) between admission and leaving the facility, we confirmed the significant improvements by using pair t-test. The mean score of IQ which was evaluated by WISC-4 was increased more than 20 points at the leaving the facility. Due to the small number sample of MRI evaluation, although significant changes were not confirmed, both hippocampus were increased and right amygdala was decreased. We hypothesized that volume in the particular brain regions were correlated with improvements of behavioral and psychological characteristics, so that we are going to analyses these data carefully.
