I have also read of this area of the brain being damaged in concussions and sports injuries. It was shown in a cat scan.

That would sure explain the incredible degree of absolutism demonstrated by right wingers on EVERY topic that has any range to it. Anything to left of the Tea party is "Liberal" or "Pinko", Obama is the worst President EVER, Bush NEVER made a blunder, the national debt was ENTIRELY created by the Dems etc. etc.
Sure looks like On/Off to me.
