The Neuroscience behind Moral Judgments

Alan met with Rebecca Saxe of MIT's McGovern Institute. Saxe has been researching how people make moral judgments of other's actions. Recognizing the Right Temporoparietal Junction (RTPJ) as active when weighing moral judgments, her research gives insight as to how jurors determine guilt or innocence in a trial.

This segment was taken from episode one, "Determining Guilt," from the broadcast, "Brains on Trial with Alan Alda."
