Another study showing physiological differences between right and left wing.
* Liberals (lefties) have more grey matter in a part of the brain associated with understanding complexity.
* Conservative brains are bigger in the section related to processing fear (ie thats how Jones, Bolt, et al make their money), said the study today in Current Biology.
* Conservatives are "more sensitive to disgust" and tend to "respond to threatening situations with more aggression than do liberals and are more sensitive to threatening facial expressions", the study said.
As a result of these studies (confirming what we already knew), we lefties need to be more sensitive to the challenges faced by our right wing friends lol.
