Liars Have Different Brains

Sunday, November 13, 2005
Habitually lying and cheating may cause worse consequences than simply a heavy conscience, a new neurological study suggests. According to the study, conducted by University of Southern California researchers, individuals identified as pathological liars tend to suffer from structural brain abnormalities that provide the capacity for lying without inhibition. Researchers found that pathological liars' brains tend to have less gray matter and more white matter in the prefrontal cortex, increasing their ability to process information quickly and respond creatively without inhibition. The study's authors hope the findings can provide fodder for future studies on the structural and biological basis of pathological behavior.
