Neurobiological Basis of Cognitive Dissonance
This topic maps the brain's reaction to conflicting information, specifically how the anterior cingulate cortex mediates identity defense when one's held reality is challenged.
Analyzes the neurobiology of cognitive dissonance as the physiological seat of LHS, where the brain actively rejects evidence that conflicts with an inherited 'false' identity.
