Vertical Vector of Brain Organization of Deviant Behavior: from Neurodynamic Dysfunctions to Regulatory Ones

Violations of arbitrary self-regulation are an important factor in deviant behavior, which determines the importance of studying their brain mechanisms. Requests for preventive practice require the identification of the most ontogenetically early mechanisms, largely based on the energy block of the brain. Corrective action on this block allows overcoming neurodynamic dysfunctions and systemic problems of arbitrary self-regulation, thus preventing the occurrence of behavioral deviations. The article presents a neuropsychological analysis of research results that highlight the common dysfunctional states of structures that form a vertical vector of the brain organization of behavior. Special attention is paid to mild dysfunctions. It has been concluded that regulatory dysfunctions, which are among the determinants of deviant behavior, can be both primary and secondary; in the latter case, they are based on the deficiency of the structures of the energy block of the brain, a modern neuropsychological strategy to overcome which is also described in the article.
