The King's Speech star commissioned the research when he guest edited Radio 4's Today programme in December. For his edition, he asked scientists to scan the brains of politicians to see if there were any differences depending on political leanings. The paper, hailed as a "useful contribution", has been published in the journal Current Biology. Scientist Geraint Rees, from University College London's Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, initially scanned the brains of Conservative politician Alan Duncan and Labour's Stephen Pound for the Today programme. He then continued the research with a further 90 participants which found that Liberal and Conservative attitudes were associated with thicker areas of parts of the brain. The finding was reproduced in another sample of participants, leading researchers to estimate they could predict political leanings with 72% accuracy by looking at brain structure. New York University's Professor John Jost, one of the world's leading authorities in political psychology, told The Psychologist magazine: "It is a useful contribution because it builds on and extends previous work. "It will probably be several years before we understand the full meaning of these results. In the meantime, the field of political neuroscience could do worse than having Colin Firth as a scientific ambassador." Today's science reporter Tom Feilden is also credited as authoring the paper, along with Mr Rees' colleague, Ryota Kanai. ------- 论文信息: Political Orientations Are Correlated with Brain Structure in Young Adults Current Biology, 07 April 2011 Copyright 2011 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved. 10.1016/j.cub.2011.03.017 Authors: Ryota Kanaisend email, Tom Feilden, Colin Firth , Geraint ReesSee Affiliations * Hint: Rollover Authors and Affiliations University College London Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, 17 Queen Square, London WC1N 3AR, UK BBC Radio 4, Television Centre, Wood Lane, London W12 7RJ, UK Wellcome Trust Centre for Neuroimaging, University College London, 12 Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG, UK Corresponding author * Highlights * Political liberalism and conservatism were correlated with brain structure * Liberalism was associated with the gray matter volume of anterior cingulate cortex * Conservatism was associated with increased right amygdala size * Results offer possible accounts for cognitive styles of liberals and conservatives Summary Substantial differences exist in the cognitive styles of liberals and conservatives on psychological measures . Variability in political attitudes reflects genetic influences and their interaction with environmental factors . Recent work has shown a correlation between liberalism and conflict-related activity measured by event-related potentials originating in the anterior cingulate cortex . Here we show that this functional correlate of political attitudes has a counterpart in brain structure. In a large sample of young adults, we related self-reported political attitudes to gray matter volume using structural MRI. We found that greater liberalism was associated with increased gray matter volume in the anterior cingulate cortex, whereas greater conservatism was associated with increased volume of the right amygdala. These results were replicated in an independent sample of additional participants. Our findings extend previous observations that political attitudes reflect differences in self-regulatory conflict monitoring and recognition of emotional faces by showing that such attitudes are reflected in human brain structure. Although our data do not determine whether these regions play a causal role in the formation of political attitudes, they converge with previous work to suggest a possible link between brain structure and psychological mechanisms that mediate political attitudes. ------- 个人简介: 科林·费尓斯,出生于英国汉普郡格瑞绍特的一个学术氛围浓厚的家庭。他在尼日利亚度过了一段童年时光,5岁时返回了英国。他首次登台演出是在朱利安·米歇尔执导的舞台剧《另一个城市》(1984)中扮演盖·班内特。由于表现出色,他获得了在《另一个城市》的电影版本中扮演汤姆·朱迪的机会。尽管弗斯的电影生涯有着很好的开始,但是在接下来的10年里,他所参与演出的电影和电视剧并没有令他成为真正的巨星。在这期间,费尔斯一个比较重要的角色是在英国广播公司制作的《傲慢与偏见》(Pride and Prejudice,1995)中扮演沉默的达西先生,此后,他还和傲慢与偏见的女主角詹妮弗·艾莉假戏真做,发展出一段恋情。 Colin Firth(24张) 在接下来的影片中扮演了重要的角色,但是还没能当上男主角。他在《朋友圈》(Circle of Friends,1995)中与明妮·德瑞弗合作,扮演为人卑劣的西蒙·威斯特沃德。然后又在《英国病人》(The English Patient,1996)中扮演克里斯汀·斯科特·托马斯的丈夫,并获得了影评人的赞许,也赢得了新的影迷。 告别戏剧,很快就参与了根据尼克·霍恩的小说改编的《极度狂热》(Fever Pitch,1997)的演出。弗斯在《恋爱中的莎士比亚》(Shakespeare in Love,1998)一片中扮演了穷困潦倒的威塞克斯老爷,展现了自己的喜剧天赋。2001年,他和休·格兰特、芮妮·齐薇格共同出演了根据海伦·费尔丁的小说改编的《BJ单身日记》(Bridget Jones's Diary )。2010年,在《单身男子》(A Single Man)中的出色表演获得了第82届奥斯卡金像奖最佳男主角提名。2011年,凭借在《国王的演讲》中的出色表现获得第83届奥斯卡金像奖最佳男主角奖。 从业经历: 2003年在英国《HELLO》杂志网站举办的一次评选活动中,Colin Firth当选最具魅力的男人,由此可见,Colin Firth在英国的影响力。 他最早涉足的是电视界,出演过许多的角色,1989年他凭借电视剧《摇摇欲坠》获得了罗依尔电视最佳男主角。1995年他出演了电视版《傲慢与偏见》,2001年他被人物杂志选为最帅的50位男人。 1996年他出演了拉尔夫费恩斯主演的《英国病人》,1998年他出演了约瑟夫费恩斯主演的《莎翁情史》,有趣的是在片中他分别失去了他在戏中的妻子。 2001年科林·菲尔什在《BJ单身日记》中出演了马克达西,由于本片的大热令他也被观众所熟悉,在2004年他又出演了《BJ单身日记》的续集,至此他已经出演了三次达西先生,除了两部《BJ单身日记》另外一次 就是在《傲慢与偏见》中。 在2003年他出演了影片《真爱至上》和《戴珍珠耳环的女孩》,2005年他出演了影片《何处寻真相》与《魔法保姆麦克菲》。接下来的几年中每年也都有新片推出,而他内敛含蓄的英国绅士形象也令不少影迷为之倾倒。 2009年,他在《单身男人》中扮演了一个失去同性伴侣的中年教师,凭借出色的表现获得了第66届威尼斯电影节最佳男主角。 2011年,凭借在《国王的演讲》中的出色表现获得第68届美国金球奖电影剧情类最佳男主角奖和第83届奥斯卡金像奖最佳男主角奖。 2012年4月7日,科尔·费林斯在国际顶级生物学学术期刊《Cell》的子刊《Current Biology》上发表科研论文《Political Orientations Are Correlated with Brain Structure in Young Adults》,影响因子高达10.9。他兼具天才的演技和过人的学术功底,令人刮目相看。 个人作品: 2013《BJ单身日记3》Bridget Jones’s diary ......Mark Darcy 2013《铁路人》The Railway Man ......Eric Lomax 2012《魔鬼绳结》Devil's Knot 2012《亚瑟 纽曼》Arthur Newman ......Arthur Newman 2012《神偷艳贼》Gambit .....Harry Dean 2012《锅匠 裁缝 士兵 间谍》Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy ......Bill Haydon(Tailor) 2010《国王的演讲》The King's Speech .....King George VI 2009《圣诞颂歌》A Christmas Carol .....Fred 2009《人肉交易》The Meat Trade 2009《道林·格雷》 Dorian Gray .....Lord Henry Wotton 2009《新乌龙女校2》St Trinian's: The Legend of Fritton's Gold .....Geoffrey 2009《小镇大街》 Main Street .....Gus Leroy 2009《单身男子》 A Single Man.....George 2009《小镇大街》 Main Street .....Gus Leroy 2009《单身男子》 A Single Man.....George 2008《妈妈咪呀!》Mamma Mia!.....Harry Bright 2008《她找我》 Then She Found Me .....Frank 2008《大卫·科波菲尔》 David Copperfield.....Edward Murdstone 2008《热那亚》 Genova .....Joe 2008《意外之夫》 The Accidental Husband.....Richard 2008《水性杨花》 Easy Virtue 2007《崎路父子情》 And When Did You Last See Your Father?.....Blake 2007《巨人》 The Colossus .....Francis Wills 2007《新乌龙女校》 St. Trinian's.....Geoffrey 2007《最后的兵团》 The Last Legion.....Aurelius Dernière 2006《生来平等》 Born Equal.....Mark London 2005《何处寻真相》 Where the Truth Lies .....Vince Collins 2005《魔法保姆麦克菲》 Nanny McPhee.....Mr. Brown 2004《外伤》 Trauma .....Ben 2004《BJ单身日记2:理性边缘》 Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason .....Mark Darcy 2003《春天的希望》 Hope Springs.....Colin Ware 2003《真爱至上》 Love Actually .....Jamie Bennett 2003《父女大不同》 What a Girl Wants.....Henry Dashwood 2003《戴珍珠耳环的少女》 Girl with a Pearl Earring.....Johannes Vermeer 2002《认真的重要性》 The Importance of Being Earnest .....Jack 2001《BJ单身日记》 Bridget Jones's Diary.....Mark Darcy 《单身男人》 2001《我们知晓你的住处》 We Know Where You Live.....Himself 2001《纳粹大猎杀》 Conspiracy.....Dr. Wilhelm Stuckart 2000《Relative Values》.....Peter Ingleton 1999《英伦四月天》 My Life So Far .....Edward Pettigrew 1999《螺丝在拧紧》 The Turn of the Screw.....The Master 1999《Blackadder Back Forth》.....William Shakespeare 1998《莎翁情史》 Shakespeare in Love.....Lord Wessex --------------- 国王的演讲 英文片名: The King's Speech 导演: 汤姆·霍伯 Tom Hooper 制片: 伊安·坎宁 Iain Canning 编剧: David Seidler ....s 主演: 科林·费斯 Colin Firth ] 类型: 剧情,历史 地域: 欧美 国家: 英国,澳大利亚 出品年份: 2010 上映日期: 2011-01-07 英国 大英帝国乔治五世去世(迈克尔·刚本饰)之后终于迎来了耻辱时刻令国民都倍感丢脸爱德华八世(盖伊·皮尔斯饰)终究还选择了“爱美人不爱江山”宣布退位让贤将弟弟乔治六世(科林·费斯饰)送上了国王宝座然而心地虽善良乔治六世却饱受着身体缺陷——口吃严重困扰每每当众发表演讲时都显得非常吃力就连几句很简单话都结结巴巴地讲不出来随着国家逐渐地被卷入可怕战争国家和民众都急切需要一个英明领导者此时乔治六世妻子伊丽莎白(海伦娜-邦汉·卡特饰)也未来英女王母亲亲自为丈夫找来了语言治疗师莱昂纳尔(杰弗里·拉什饰)通过一系列训练新国王口吃毛病得到了很大改善莱昂纳尔正直个性也赢得了国王等人尊重并有幸成为国王好友随后乔治六世发表了著名圣诞讲话鼓舞了当时二战中奋勇拼杀英国军民成为历史佳话 国王的演讲 - 幕后花絮 ·本片于第35届多伦多电影节获得了最高荣誉观众选择大奖。 ·为了冲击奥斯卡,本片在北美将于2010年11月26日开始点映,而在英国的正式公映时间是2011年1月7日。 ·本片获得了 第83届(2011年)奥斯卡(即美国电影学院奖)最佳影片(格莱斯·乌文)、最佳男主角(科林·费斯) 和最佳原创剧本(大卫·塞德勒)。此外男主角科林·费斯也凭借本片获得了第68届金球奖剧情类影片最佳男主角。 --- BBC News Guest editor: Colin Firth Guest editor: Colin Firth http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9281000/9281725.stm Each year, the Today programme hands over the editorial reins to five public figures, giving them a chance to decide what goes on the programme between Christmas and New Year. The programme broadcast on Tuesday 28th December was edited by actor Colin Firth. While Colin Firth did not want arts and culture to dominate his programme, he did want to include a little poetry, starting with a reading of The British by Benjamin Zephaniah. Scientific research commissioned by this programme on behalf of our guest editor, Colin Firth, has shown a strong correlation between the structure of a person's brain and their political views. Science correspondent Tom Feilden analysed the theory. The human rights organisation, Reprieve UK, is threatening to take legal action against the government unless it bans the export of two drugs used in executions. BBC reporter Andrew Hosken explained the situation. The question of how to teach history in schools is a topic that concerns the coalition as well as this morning's guest editor, Colin Firth. The historian Tariq Ali and Niall Ferguson, Professor of History at Harvard University, debated the right way to teach the past. The human rights organisation, Reprieve UK, wants the government to stop two drugs that are manufactured in Britain from being exported for use in US executions. Guest editor Colin Firth commissioned BBC reporter Andrew Hosken to find out more. Colin Firth has played a gay man in several roles, most notably A Single Man, which won him a Bafta and an Oscar nomination this year. Colin asked Evan Davis to talk to the actor Rupert Everett about the problems faced by homosexuals when casting for films. Over the last four decades, aid to Africa has quadrupled from around $11bn dollars a year to $44bn , according to the UN. Guest editor, Colin Firth, has long supported the work of Oxfam, but was keen to hear the BBC's Mike Thomson report on the arguments against aid. Chief Executive of Oxfam, Barbara Stocking, responded to claims that aid can cause more harm than good. Guest editor Colin Firth has noticed that people in the film industry often find it hard to tackle the theme of religion and faith. Catholic screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce explained what it is like to be a religious man in Hollywood. In this time of austerity, the coalition government refuses to cut international aid, pointing to its conviction that aid agencies do valuable work. Guest editor Colin Firth asked the BBC's Mike Thomson to investigate the effectiveness of humanitarian aid through the prism of Sierra Leone in West Africa, which has received more than 100m in UK aid since the end of its civil war. Colin Firth, heard and enjoyed the encounter on this programme last year between John Humphrys and Dame Edna Everage. He requested a rematch, so we brought them together again for a look back at this year's big stories. Are our political values and beliefs the result of experience or genetics in the brain? Colin Firth asked science correspondent Tom Feilden to report on an experiment involving two well-known political figures, Alan Duncan and Stephen Pound to see if it is possible to predict an individual's politics from the structure of their brains. Today's guest editor, Colin Firth, was keen to hear some poetry on his programme. The young poet Haroon Anwar, who won a performance poetry competition for under-16s run by The Poetry Society Slambassadors, recites Western Child. Colin Firth became a household name playing Mr Darcy in the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, and continued with a string of films including Bridget Jones's Diary. Justin Webb spoke to him about his experience and how he had approached the task of guest editing. ABOUT THE GUEST EDITOR Colin Firth, Bafta winner and Academy Award-nominated actor, has starred in films including A Single Man, Mamma Mia and Love Actually. His latest film is The King's Speech. -------------- 推荐博客: __________________________________________________ 人文地理与摄影系列: 西域 摄影作品之二 : 图片集锦 精选 《魅力西域》摄影展入选作品之一 : 图片集锦 精选 现代诗歌系列: 【 现代 诗歌】 【 现代 诗歌】 电影鉴赏系列: 电影鉴赏 : 《危险方法》荣格与弗洛伊德的决裂之精神分析学 ; 电影鉴赏《卑鄙的我》:萝莉与大坏蛋奶爸的故事 ; 电影鉴赏 : 《巴黎野玫瑰 》影片赏析; 电影鉴 赏 : 《开往春天的地铁》影片赏析 ; 社会与时政系列: 重 - 庆 事 - 件的成 - 因 - 和 - 走 - 向 ; 大败局:提振、猫腻、公子、剥削、官二代、昏庸、腐败 ; 中国 “ 裸 - 官 ” 报告出炉, “ 太 - 子奶 ” 全面爆发 ; 权力资本结盟牺牲民众利益造就行业性暴富 ; 集体世袭的中国高层:藉助权力赚取财富 ; 看不懂的农村 : 豫北老家农村见闻 ; 发条橙子 : 传说中的暴力亡命 “ 哥 ” 几则 ; 大败局:中国式尊严 ; ž 中国腐败新变向: 向三权( 权钱、权色、权权) 交易的转化与演变 ž 天涯杂谈: 二油裸涨了,官家套套特供了。一周杂谈 ž 二次掠夺?中国空心村土地亟待盘活利用?? 社会文化观察 : ž 打工诗歌的疼痛感:中国现代化进程见证 ž 【诗歌】城市的十字路口 ž 打工诗歌:一种生存的证明 ž 【诗歌】这些年,我携着生存奔跑在路上 ž 是谁制造了郑小琼们? 民工阶层的觉醒与呐喊 ž 屌 丝亚文化之网络群体自嘲进行时
近来几天据传:国王的演讲主演,奥斯卡影帝Colin Firth以第三作者发了篇Current Biology,名为 《Political orientations are correlated with brain structure in young adults 》。甚是让人反思。 首先,不管是否重名,如果真是他发的(且不管是第几作者),那意义可就大了。此Cell子刊影响因子10.9,呵呵,着实让人吃惊了一把。其实,以自我的观点看来,也很正常。只不过是对我们这些学生物的搞科研的人来说,震惊且令人吃醋。呵呵, 记得上学期上课,好像是王德华老师说的。我们这些搞科研的“家”的时代已经过去了.个人观点认为一是因为新的东西越来越多,根本不可能全面掌握,如果真想,那估计就是像“那个男人来自地球”里面的男主角吧,最起码也得活个几百年的,慢慢学,好好学,认真学,考10几个博士。二恐怕就是因为现在好多搞科研的态度不太一样了。“豌豆的故事”,“堆积木的故事”,“做梦的故事”恐怕不会太多,或者不会有了吧... 盼望着自己发Current Biology的那一天,虽然遥远,但是相信会有可能!
