In politics, brain shows true colors
The political divide between the blue and red states goes beyond geography. Partisanship appears to be rooted in the brain.
Jonas T. Kaplan, Ph.D., a psychologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, scanned 10 registered Democrats and 10 registered Republicans with functional MRI while they viewed pictures of Pres. Bush, Sen. John Kerry, and Ralph Nader during the 2004 presidential campaign (Neuropsychologia 2006; June 7, online).
Researchers found that the dorsolateral prefrontal and the anterior cingulate cortices, brain regions involved in cognitive and emotional control, worked in tandem to promote positive feelings toward the subjects' favored candidates and negative feelings toward opposing candidates.
While Democrats demonstrated negativity toward Bush and Republicans showcased similar feelings for Kerry, fMRI revealed that the Republicans could stomach Kerry more easily than the Democrats could Bush.
Is the Kaiser Score More Effective than BI-RADS for Assessing Contrast-Enhanced Mammography and MRI?
October 14th 2024For women with breast-enhanced masses, Kaiser scoring (KS) demonstrated a 20 percent higher AUC than BI-RADS classification for contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) and was comparable to KS for breast MRI.
Enhancing Lesions on Breast MRI: Can an Updated Kaiser Scoring Model Improve Detection?
September 26th 2024The addition of parameters such as patient age, MIP sign and associated imaging features to the Kaiser score demonstrated a 95.6 percent AUC for breast cancer detection of enhancing lesions on breast MRI in recently published research.
