How does our brain change when associated with groups

We are all good people.We have our own set of preferences and we all have our own morals.But, how does our brain react to the things which were once believed to be your moral principles.

The very nature that separates human beings from other species is the compassion and other moral principles.But, researchers at MIT think otherwise.MIT researchers have identified that human beings tend to do bad things when we are associated with a particular group.

 For example, bullying is something you hate, you may be someone who never bullies anyone.But when you are in a particular group and then you may more incline towards bullying your peers.

Groupssssss

Human beings live with like-minded ones.That's why we have groups, community, countries.In order to know more about the group dynamics, researchers invited subjects into their lab.The purpose of the research was to hit a button if they see the stuff related to social media.The subjects also saw their personalized stuff in the stuff related to social media.The brain scans revealed that the medial prefrontal cortex was much more active when the subjects were not associated in groups.

But, when they started to form a team, then some of them showed slow medial prefrontal cortex activation.This reveals that these members were prone to harm the members of competing team.

The research also showed that the people with reduced prefrontal medial cortex showed to forget the moral statements they had seen during the game.
