Again:
It turns out Firth was a guest editor on the daily BBC Radio 4 news
programme Today and

<LOOK HERE> COMMISSIONED neuroscientist Geraint Rees </LOOKHERE>

to scan the brains of two prominent UK politicians – one staunchly
liberal and the other a confirmed conservative – to look for
differences.

The study states it's all assumptions based on the findings.

-- Results offer POSSIBLE accounts for cognitive styles of liberals
and conservative

Although these results suggest a link between political attitudes and
brain structure, it is important to note that the neural processes
implicated are likely to reflect complex processes of the formation of
political attitudes rather than a direct representation of political
opinions per se. The conceptualizing and reasoning associated with the
expression of political opinions is not necessarily limited to
structures or functions of the regions we identified but will require
the involvement of more widespread brain regions implicated in
abstract thoughts and reasoning.
