Neurolaw

If you haven't read this article its worth taking a look. The legal and neuroscience communities are collaborating on research which in the near future may impact not just the legal system, but science as well. And even perhaps all medico-legal interactions.

It is a fascinating detour into human behavior, personal responsibility and use of technology. I am waiting for the first patient in the ED to use the phrase,"Doc, my amygdala made me do it!!" Its just a matter of time.

Its a great article written by Jeffrey Rosen. Click the title and get linked.
