The participants received MRI scans to show brain activity. The results showed that those who exhibited lower levels of self-control had higher brain activity in the ventral striatum, the area that deals with positive rewards. [64] Self-control is negatively correlated with sociotropy [65] which in turn is correlated with depression. [66]

A WRAP restraint system is shown, and is similar to a full-body restraint jacket. When used improperly, one United States federal judge likened the restraints’ use to torture.
