Why do people lie? And what makes a good liar? A recent study says that there may be a biological reason to that. The paper, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggests that the brain adapts to dishonesty, thus, leading to bigger lies. To help us understand this better is neurogeneticist, Dr Azlina Ahmad Annuar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
