The fact that I was reading this issue while going on my own personal quest through Istanbul?a part of Marco Polo's voyage?and Turkey's interior made the reading an even more pleasurable experience.

Many regions of the cortex are thought to be recruited for a lie, but three stand out: the anterior (front) cingulate, which reconciles goals and intentions; the right orbital/ interior frontal, which processes the sense of reward; and the right middle frontal, which helps govern tasks requiring more than ordinary thought. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) looks for such busy, well-oxygenated areas. Get a hit in all three zones, and you may have a liar. That is what...
