I suppose when it comes down to it, these findings are not surprising. Knowing both conservatives and liberals, it's pretty obvious that they have fundamentally different ways of processing the same social information. Unless you assume that our brains are not the whole of our mind, then conservative/liberal brains must be different.

However, it's interesting to consider how environmental factors can bring about conservative or liberal shifts in a population. I don't think Saudi brains are that different from French brains.
