The findings suggest that, in the laboratory tasks used, damage to the VM does not necessarily impair judgments of social dominance, although it appears to result in alterations in strategy that might translate into behavioral impairments in real life.

Impaired social response reversal. A case of 'acquired sociopathy'.
- Psychology, MedicineBrain : a journal of neurology

A patient who, following trauma to the right frontal region, including the orbitofrontal cortex, presented with 'acquired sociopathy' is reported, suggesting that J.S.'s impairment is due to a reduced ability to generate expectations of others' negative emotional reactions, in particular anger.
Impairments of emotion and real-world complex behavior following childhood- or adult-onset damage to ventromedial prefrontal cortex
- PsychologyJournal of the International Neuropsychological Society
- 2006
Findings from patients with focal lesions in the VM region acquired either in childhood or adulthood are presented, and it is shown that there is a relationship between emotional dysfunction and impairments in real-world behavioral competencies.
Acquired Personality Disturbances Associated With Bilateral Damage to the Ventromedial Prefrontal Region
- PsychologyDevelopmental neuropsychology
- 2000
Differences between this syndrome of "acquired sociopathy" and developmental psychopathy in characteristic personality disturbances and psychophysiological abnormalities suggest that diminished emotionality, impaired decision making, and psychosocial dysfunction may be related to ventromedial prefrontal dysfunction in both groups.

The data suggest that social behavioural problems in patients with frontal lobe lesions or fronto-temporal dementia may be a consequence of dysfunction within the systems identified in light of their possible role in processing whether particular social behaviours are, or are not, appropriate.

In comparison with other types of brain damage which disrupt cognitive development, frontal damage acquired early in life appears to provide the neurological substrate for a special type of learning disability in the realms of insight, foresight, social judgement, empathy, and complex reasoning.
