[[Conservatives and Liberals|Liberals]] have higher [[ACC]] gray volume<ref>Kanai R, Feilden T, Firth C, Rees G (2011) Political orientations are correlated with brain structure in young adults. Curr Biol 21: 677–680.</ref>. ACC is connected to conflict resultion (rACC to social conflict and dACC to non-social conflict). Reward valence modulates conflict-driven attentional adaptation in the ACC<ref>[http://bernhard-hommel.eu/Van%20Steenbergen%20et%20al.%20(2012).%20Reward%20valence%20modulates%20conflict-driven%20attentional%20adaptation.pdf van Steenbergen, Guido P.H. Band and Bernhard Hommel, Reward valence modulates conflict-driven attentional adaptation: Electrophysiological evidence, 2012]</ref>. Greater liberalism was associated with stronger conflict-related [[ACC|anterior cingulate activity]], suggesting greater neurocognitive sensitivity to cues for altering a habitual response pattern<ref>[http://www.psych.nyu.edu/amodiolab/Publications_files/Amodio_etal_2007_NatureNeuro.pdf Amodio, D.

The ACC is important for responce time, therefore it was suggested that the ACC is related to "global energizing factor"<ref>Stuss, Donald T., Michael P. Alexander, Tim Shallice, Terence W. Picton, Malcolm A. Binns, Ronald Macdonald, Agnes Borowiec, and Douglas I. Katz. "Multiple frontal systems controlling response speed." Neuropsychologia 43, no. 3 (2005): 396-417.</ref>
