The widespread expectation is that citizens will vote for their party’s candidates, but there is now a body of evidence suggesting that our brains may be pre-wired to be liberal or conservative. Enter neuro-politics. This discipline is younger than neuro-economics, neuro-law, neuro-ethics, neuro-marketing, neuro-art, neuro-culture, or neuroesthetics. Neuro-politics focuses on the intersection of politics with neuroscience.1 However, there are many antecedents to neuro-politics reflected in the writings of Plato, Aristotle, Niccolò Machiavelli, John Locke, Baruch Spinoza, Henri Bergson, William James, and others. Neuro-politics attempts to generate data to answer a variety of questions about political behavior, such as: • Is political orientation associated with differences in certain brain regions? • Are there reliable neural biomarkers of political orientation? • Is political orientation modifiable, and if so, why are some individuals ferociously entrenched to one political dogma while others are able to untether themselves and adopt another political doctrine? • What are the brain characteristics of “swing voters” who may align themselves with different parties in different election cycles? • Is there a “religification” of politics among the ardent fanatics who regard the tenets of their political beliefs as “articles of faith?” • Is the brain modified by certain attributes (such as educational level, age, sex, marital status, race, ethnicity, and religious affiliation) that translate to political decision-making? • Can neuro-politics explain the sprouting of psychiatric symptoms such as obsessions, anxiety, irritability, anger, hatred, and conspiracy theories? • Is political extremism driven by cortical structures, limbic structures, or both?

Neuro-politics: Will you vote with your cortex or limbic system?
