Watch Violence Change Your Brain

The word is just out. It seems the human brain changes when people watch violent acts … and researchers just reported it’s far from good news.

Scientists at Columbia University have finally taken us inside the brain to show through Magnetic Resonance Imaging what’s really going on. They concludecortexbig.jpgd that brain network changes result from watching violence … and these changes leave people less able to control their own violent behavior. Do you believe that?

With the increasing acts of violence portrayed in today’s media … neuroscience finally stepped in to show aggression from the brain’s perspective.

Check out details in the full research article at the Public Library of Science … which is a peer reviewed publication. Here’s my question … How has war rewired our collective brains?  Possibly this research discovery was known by Ireland’s leaders when they made a conscious decision to increase prosperity through peace.

What do you think?
