功能磁共振成像(FMRI)的进展揭示了人类大脑如何在不同的决策环境中运作，包括法律环境。在大约过去的五年里，法律学者已经开始将功能磁共振证据纳入刑事责任、证据、医保法、劳动法和其他各种领域的学术研究中。在这篇评论中，我考虑了最近的一项功能磁共振研究--第三方惩罚的神经关联--对量刑法律和制度选择的影响。一项神经科学研究永远不会解决关于联邦量刑的旷日持久的辩论，但这篇评论以第三方惩罚的神经相关性为起点，证明神经科学的证据是相关的--具体到刑事量刑，以及总体上的机构选择分析。在《第三方惩罚的神经相关性》一书中，约书亚·巴克霍尔茨等人。(“Buckholtz”)描述了最近一项神经成像研究的结果，其中
Advances in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) have shed light on how the human brain operates in different decisionmaking contexts, including legal ones.' In roughly the past five years, legal scholars have begun incorporating fMRI evidence into scholarship on criminal responsibility, evidence, health law, employment law, and various other fields.' In this Comment, I consider the implications of a recent fMRI study, The Neural Correlates of Third-Party Punishment,' for sentencing law and institutional choice. One neuroscience study will never resolve the extended debate on federal sentencing, but this Comment uses The Neural Correlates of Third-Party Punishment as a jumping-off point to demonstrate that evidence from neuroscience is relevant -to criminal sentencing specifically and to institutional choice analysis generally. In The Neural Correlates of Third-Party Punishment, Joshua Buckholtz et at. ("Buckholtz") describe the results of a recent neuroimaging study in which
