Liars And Honest People Have Entirely Different Brains

Liars And Honest People Have Entirely Different Brains - KnowledgeNuts
In A Nutshell
Studies on the brains of people who have a history of lying have shown that they’re wired a little differently than the brains of people who are, for the most part, honest. 
The brains of habitual liars show an average of 25 percent more white matter and 14 percent less gray matter than the brains of their honest counterparts. 
The implication is that the brains of liars are wired to be more in tune with the story-telling and the reading of other people, while at the same time having fewer connections that govern moral choices.
