Neuro News Nanos

By RYAN SAGER
I've got a Monkey on my back.....

Here are this morning’s:

* A trust trap — once we invest trust in a particular source of knowledge, we’re less likely to scrutinize information from that source in the future — we’d like to get you in that position here at Neuroworld

* From Chart Porn — percentage of women who think it’s okay for their husbands to hit them — an interesting new site

* Psychologists answer — one thing I don’t understand about myself — career masochism

* Map of book censorship — Northeast surprisingly well-represented — another from Chart Porn

* Monkeys — there is a link between the size of the brain, in particular the neocortex which is responsible for higher-level thinking, and the size and number of grooming clusters that monkeys belong to — maybe just an excuse to post a picture of monkeys

    About Me

    I'm a freelance writer and blogger based in Brooklyn, NY. My background is mostly in politics. I've worked on the editorial boards of the New York Sun and New York Post. In 2006, I wrote a book, "The Elephant in the Room: Evangelicals, Libertarians, and the Battle to Control the Republican Party" (Wiley). I've also done my share of freelancing, for places like the Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times, Reason, and RealClearPolitics.

    These days, I'm interested in humanity's ever-expanding understanding of its own irrationality. Hence, this blog.
