"A lie is an intentionally false statement. To lie is to say something one believes to be false with the intention it be taken for truth.

"In all, 14 areas of the brain activated when deception was in play, including regions responsible for controlling language, sentence structure, social interactions, motor control, memory and emotions.

Only seven brain regions were activated when the person told the truth."

It makes sense if you think about it. When you lie, you make up a story, so you have to think harder about it. When you tell the truth, you simply recall a memory and put it into words. I hope this helped.

Taking this information, I researched which parts of the brain controlled the above listings. Here's what I found.

The temporal lobe of the brain controls memory, hearing, and language.
The cerebellum controls movement and "muscle memory".
The amygdala in the limbic system of the brain controls emotions.

I hope this helped.
