You might find some of this interesting

From 2011 TIME Healthland - Liberal vs. Conservative: Does the Difference Lie in the Brain?
http://healthland.time.com/2011/04/08/liberal-vs-conservative-does-the-difference-lie-in-the-brain/

From April, 2011 CBS - Liberal vs. conservative: Who has better brain?
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-20051706-10391704.html
Based upon what brain scientists know about the function of the two brain regions, researchers believe the structural differences support the notion that liberals are better equipped to make sense of conflicting information while conservatives are better able to recognize a threat.
