      Your Brain on Ethics

      Say you have a load of donated food to deliver to an orphanage in Uganda. But due to circumstances beyond your control, you're forced to make a hard choice: give some of the children enough meals to stave off hunger for several days and let the rest go hungry, or evenly distribute a smaller amount of food so that each child feels full for just a few hours. A study published online today in Science is one of the first to investigate how the brain wrestles with such morally charged tradeoffs.









      Be Fair


      When people try to equitably distribute charitable donations,
      activity in the putamen (left)
      may reflect what's best for the greater good,
      whereas the insula (right)
      tracks inequities between individuals.
