I was about to write a check, donating to this study; but I bought a flat sceen TV so I could watch the playoffs instead. I was hoping they'd be able to tell me where I stood in the group......ah, well....

This region, which lies in the top and back portion of the brain, is generally activated when the mind is trying to figure out social relationships.

Perhaps it is the portion of the baby's brain that is activated when he gazes into his mother's eyes and then reaches up to touch her face.

Altruism as well as its cousin, compassion, militate against evolution.
