Quote:
Every generation has its James Dean: the rebel who refuses to follow the path beaten by their peers. Now, a new study in ‘Current Biology’ has found a link between the amount of grey matter in one specific brain region and an individual’s likelihood of conforming to social pressures.

Individuals are presented with many choices in life, from political alignments to choosing which sandwich to eat for lunch. Their eventual decisions can be influenced by the options chosen by those around them. Although differences in individuals' tendencies to conform to social pressures are commonly observed, no anatomical measure has previously been linked to the likelihood of someone conforming under the influence of their peers.

...

Strikingly, only grey matter volume in one precise brain region - the lateral orbitofrontal cortex - was associated with this measure of social influence. The linear relationship between grey matter volume and the tendency of individuals to conform was observed in this particular region in both hemispheres of the brain.

...


Many of you have large lateral orbitofrontal cortexes!

I don't think being a nonconformist is as great a trait as some make it out to be.
