A recent discovery, published in the journal Neuron, would light on the origin "organic" injury: it was highlighted that through the resonance Nuclear Magnetic Imaging (MRI), an 'area of \u200b\u200bthe brain where the perception of origin other than proven itself to those who belong to different ethnic or social groups than their own. The attention of researchers at Harvard University, who carried out the study, fell on the medial prefrontal cortex (mpFC). The experiment that led to this discovery is very elegant in its simplicity, the researchers showed a group of students from the profiles of two characters engaged in a liberal and a cultural conservative religious fundamentalist. The MRI revealed that when students expressed themselves on the profile of the person closest to your way of being lit area of \u200b\u200bthe ventral mpFC, while when they spoke of the person with beliefs different from their own, are "lit up" the region of the dorsal mpFC. Ultimately, the ventral region of the area would mpFC linked to empathy and self-reference, while the dorsal region would be the custodian of the injury. Very curious that this study has reinforced the theory that we tend to judge others to use themselves as a parameter, giving people their own personal beliefs, though not confirmed by experience. Therefore, if the allocation of a trial is essential to the economy of our nervous system that gives an order to the perception of the outside world through the cataloging of events, we must pay great attention to attribute a value to the trial itself, as you risk subjectivized reality, arrogating the power to give an adverse opinion on everything that is not ours, of course with the good pleasure of the dorsal region mpFC.
