Does having power hurt your brain?
Historian Henry Adams once described power as “a tumor that ultimately kills the sympathy of its victims“.
In a 20-year study， Dacher Keltner， a professor of psychology at the University of California， Berkeley， found that subjects affected by power acted as if they had suffered traumatic brain injury.
They tend to bee more impulsive and less risk conscious. The key is that they are also less good at looking at problems from the perspective of others.
Sukhvinder， a neuroscientist at McMaster University in Ontario
Obhi recently described a similar situation. And research behavior
Unlike Keltner， obhi studies the brain. When he uses special machines to detect people holding power and ordinary people at the same time， he finds that the existence of power can damage a specific neural process.
This neural process， called “mirror image“， may be the cornerstone of empathy. This provides a neurological basis for what Keltner calls the “power paradox“: once we have power， we lose the most
Some of the abilities needed to gain power at the beginning.
拥有权力会伤害你的大脑？
历史学家 HenryAdams 曾将权力描述为“一种最终杀死受害者同情的肿瘤”。
加州大学伯克利分校心理学教授 Dacher Keltner 在长达20年的研究中发现，受权力影响的受试者表现得就像遭受了创伤性脑损伤一样。
他们通常会变得更加冲动，风险意识更低。关键的是，他们也会更不善于从别人的角度看待问题。

Obhi 最近描述了类似的情况。与研究行为的
Keltner 不同， Obhi 研究的是大脑，当他把手握权力的人和普通人同时用特殊机器检测时，他发现权力的存在会损害一种特定的神经过程。
而这种被叫做“镜像”的神经过程可能恰恰是产生同理心的基石。这为 Keltner 所说的“权力悖论”提供了神经学基础：一旦我们拥有了权力，我们就失去了最
