Political Orientations Are Correlated with Brain Structure
http://www.cell.com/current-biology/abstract/S0960-9822(11)00289-2 Substantial differences exist in the cognitive styles of liberals and conservatives on psychological measures. Variability in political attitudes reflects genetic influences and their interaction with environmental factors.
