"Peering inside the brain with MRI scans, researchers at University College
London found that self-described conservative students had a larger
amygdala than liberals. The amygdala is an almond-shaped structure deep in
the brain that is active during states of fear and anxiety. Liberals had
more gray matter at least in the anterior cingulate cortex, a region of the
brain that helps people cope with complexity."

"The liberal party is generally more intellectual and the conservative
party is more anti-intellectual."


You think having more gray matter in your brain, instead of something
active, that makes you smarter?


Your phony misunderstanding isn't going to change what the article says.

.... conservative students had a larger amygdala... an almond-shaped

The conservative party is big on national defense and magnifies our
perception of threat, whether of foreign aggressors, immigrants,
terrorists, or invading ideologies like Communism. To a conservative,
the world really is a frightening place.

Liberals had more gray matter at least in the anterior cingulate cortex,
a region of the brain that helps people cope with complexity.

The liberal party is generally more intellectual and the conservative
party is more anti-intellectual.

If you have **** for brains and think that makes you smarter, you might be a
liberal!

Weak response, capped off with a phony smiley that you hope undoes the
study and puts you on top.
