Tomorrow's Los Angeles Times (Monday, September 10 edition) has an interesting article on the brain differences between conservatives and liberals (not Drew Westen's study). Apparently, liberals are better at punching the correct button on a computer keyboard based on changing screen cues because they are better able to process new information and ideas, and apparently liberals had more brain activity in the anterior cingulate cortex, which is the part of the brain that controls whether you react differently to new information instead of responding in a knee-jerk habitual manner, even when circumstances change.

Interesting article, and right-wingers won't like it much.
