A study published in Neuroscience by researchers at Spain's University of Zaragoza scanned the brains of 100 young adults and found structural differences in those who hold authoritarian beliefs — on both the left and the right. Right-wing authoritarians had lower grey matter volume in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex, a region involved in understanding other people's thoughts and perspectives. Left-wing authoritarians had less cortical thickness in the right anterior insula, associated with emotional empathy and behavioral inhibition. Both groups were more impulsive in emotionally negative situations than their less-authoritarian peers.
