(MADISON)- Some law students at the University of Wisconsin?s Law school have begun taking a closer look at how new brain scan research might change the way criminal sentences are handed down. The UW-Madison Law school?s new double major in law and neuroscience is challenging future lawyers to use new discoveries on how the brain works to make punishment more effectively fit the crime. They?re looking at new research from the Macarthur Foundation Research Network on law and neuroscience.
