Two more points on this, the first from another report on the same study: "Pathological liars have less gray matter and more white matter in their prefrontal cortex, according to a report in the October issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry. Gray matter consists of the cells that do the thinking, while white matter consists of the cells that connect them." http://www.healthcentral.com/newsdetail/408/528266.html And this insightful analysis from a commenter on Kevin Drum's Political Animal blog: "What the study seems to be saying is that the people who are great liars have less grey matter to work with, which is the element that does the serious calculating work, so it's terrifically harder for them to work out the actual truth of something, but really easy to make up a great story about it, a story that outwardly fits tightly to the few most obvious facts which are all they can really determine." http://tinyurl.com/c9f82 ------------------------ Yahoo!
