charity begins...in the posterior superior temporal salcus, according to scientists who have traced the origin of kindness in the brain.
a study found that this part of the brain is more active in people who engaged in helping behaviour.
the region, which lies in the top and back of the brain is linked to sorting out social relationships. US scientists scanned the brains of 45 volunteers using a technique that can watch the brain working.
participants either played a computer game or watched a computer play a game on its own. in either case, winning the game earned money for a chosen charity.
volunteers were also questioned about how often they put others before themselves.
the brain scan revealed that the most charitable showed the most activity in the posterior superior temporal salcus when the camputer game was being played.
the scientists think altruistic behaviour originates from the way people view the world rather than how they act on it; perceiving others' actions as meaningful is critical to altruism.
kami dah hampir menamatkan block ethics utk PBL kali ni. Alhamdulillah, lega saya dibuatnya. block ethics mungkin block yg paling saya tak suka walaupun senior selalu tekankan bhw block ni akan jadi paling best sebab byk isu boleh dibangkitkan. tapi nampaknya bg saya sendiri, block ini paling memenjara fikiran saya.
oh,berita kat atas ni dr Metro Dublin.tak sempat nak diulas skrg, kene prepare utk PBL ethics terakhir =P.
