When they inactivated one specific region, the monkeys stopped making risky choices.

No other areas had a similar effect, even areas that have been shown to play a role in monkey decision-making.

The region researchers identified is part of the Brodmann area in the monkey frontal lobe, which has dozens of smaller parts that are associated with all sorts of brain activities including speech, hearing, and movement.

Specifically, it was Brodmann area 6, which is involved in planning complex and coordinated movement.

In people, the frontal lobe is involved in personality, planning, organizing, and goal-oriented behavior.

Dear Leader should put chips in us peasants so we are docile and do not rebel.

Risks are important in adults, but is this chip available for teenagers?

Asking for a friend. :)

Should make these part of the pre-nup.

Monkeys take a lot of risks?? Like jumping on a tiny branch...like using No. 2 thread instead of a vine to swing from tree to tree....like sleeping with lions?? I guess they do...oh my...

Humans don’t need no chip, just feminize everything.

It’s all about making men effeminate.

Because men bad.

Or apparently a monkey. So now we have risk free monkeys. Did they come from Wu Han. Those creatons over there can create anything.

Is is possible to get these chips removed from GOP congressmen?

This will end so well......

I read a book many years ago where the author foresaw technology and even nano tech, being used in our brains to control us. The problem he foresaw was someone powerful enough to impose the tech on the masses and putting them in permanent control of humanity and the world.

For the life of me, I cannot remember the name of the book, but I recall thinking he had a point, and now we are seeing the fruition of that very thing.

Is that a scene from Metropolis?
