Interesting study: Those in positions of great socioeconomic power exhibit measurable differences in the white-matter networks
A massive study using brain scans of 35,000 people showed that those in positions of great socioeconomic power exhibit measurable differences in the white-matter networks that help different regions of the brain communicate. It doesn’t mean powerful people are not empathetic, but that their brains gradually engage the empathy response less than people who don’t have high social positions. #people
