The limbic system and nearby structures
Regulation
processes in an interpersonal lying experiment published
in the journal of criminal
psychology their study emphasized that
the social interaction between a deceiver and the
deceived opponent is a determining factor for
deception that involves emotions hence besides a great amount of
cognitive control a successful lie also requires the regulation of emotions especially when deceiving somebody face to face
their studies revealed that there was
a decrease of alpha activity in left dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex which predicted a
higher frequency of deceptive
responses as well as less guilt about
deceiving the interrogator all these
studies go to indicate that the
selfish motive of lying has an effect
on the limbic region of the neural systems
and prolonged lying can even proceed to damage and desensitize it.
