Interesting study about that.
I don't know if it's true, but it would offer an explanation why people like George W. Bush and Richard Cheney were so eager to dodge serving in wartime when they were young and yet were so willing to throw away the lives of many thousands of people once they personally had no skin in the game.
Still, correlation is not causation, in either direction (the brains are so because they are or they are so because their brains are). Saying that there is a correlation between x and Y does not mean that there is any relationship between the two sets. Supposedly decades ago there was a near perfect correlation between the increase in telephone poles and the cancer rate in Iowa.

The cancer rates went up with installation of telephone poles? I don't doubt it... they soak those things in creosote.
