SMRTR summary
Scientists used brain scans to discover why people often act against their moral beliefs, finding that moral consistency stems from activity in the brain's ventromedial prefrontal cortex. When researchers stimulated this brain region, participants became more morally consistent, suggesting that applying moral principles requires active brain work that can fail even when people know right from wrong.
