Neurobiological markers corruption behavior: theoretical review

In the modern world, the fi ght against corruption becomes a matter of solving a global problem of society. As practice has shown, external infl uences aimed at preventing corrupt practices do not always have the desired eff ect. Therefore, recently, scientists around the world have shown increasing interest in internal regulators of corrupt behavior, most often due to moral components. This paradigm is based on the idea that corrupt behavior results from multiple, interacting cognitive-affective networks in the brain that can be biomedically manipulated to create opportunities for moral improvement. However, cognitive neuro-studies of moral aspects of behavior, including those involving corrupt actions, are currently in short supply. Most of them were carried out on foreign samples, that is, without taking into account the sociocultural aspect. In addition, one of the latest trends in this direction is the search for neuromarkers - those areas in the human brain that are activated when implementing thoughts and actions that are contrary to moral standards, including when making corrupt decisions. This article is intended to provide an annotated analysis of retrospective studies of neurobiological predictors of human behavior, mainly from the last 10-15 years, to introduce the Russian reader to innovative works in this direction.
