Precise, three-dimensional localization of neuroanatomic substrates responsible for an established pattern of anti-social behavior such as violence, substance abuse, pedophilia and the like is used to guide temporally and spatially coordinated pulsed multi-origin ablative modalities, wherein the pulse duration is shorter than thermal relaxation time of the target tissue. By selectively destroying aberrant neural networks, the anti-social behavior is eliminated while minimizing unwanted neurologic side-effects.
