"Political scientists and psychologists have noted that, on average, conservatives show more structured and persistent cognitive styles, whereas liberals are more responsive to informational complexity, ambiguity and novelty. We tested the hypothesis that these profiles relate to differences in general neurocognitive functioning using event-related potentials, and found that greater liberalism was associated with stronger conflict-related anterior cingulate activity, suggesting greater neurocognitive sensitivity to cues for altering a habitual response pattern."
I was just trying to be accurate. I could have use the phrase "wired differently," but there are no wires in the brain. Whether we know the specific physical differences or not, the profound observation is that there is one. And the basis of our thoughts, opinions, etc, is neurochemical.
