Do notorious liars have different brains?

I just read something that scientists want to have found out that notorious liars have different brains. I don't know exactly what they think is different but something is supposed to be different. Do you think this is true? 
If it was caused by an abnormality of the brain then it wouldn't be a sin since the person cannot be blamed for it.

All I know is the bible, which is our guide for Christian living and knowing God, doesn't say anything about the notorious brained liar being exempted the "liar" category. The devil takes a black and white issue and pollutes it, providing a nice slippery slope for us to go sliding down. Now, where do you stop on this slippery slope? Which authority do we believe... God or man? Who created the brain? Who wrote the Bible? Who will you believe?

Does this mean the scientists are making this up?
I read that the differences were visible and the MRT pictures.

Frederik my friend-
Secular scientists have no belief whatsoever in the spiritual, therefore, they look only at the physical. What they are actually saying is, the chemical operation and possibly some physical differences show in most cases where pathological liars are tested, because of the pattern seen or found.
Normally there are several physical reasons for that, but a few can also be found with no abnormalities, proving some outside force is causing it, not a physical one.
God Bless!!

There are cases where people had accidents and suffered brain damage and this brain damage changed their whole personality and they became criminal or totally lost all kinds of inhibitions. If a damage in a certain area in the brain can cause a person to become criminal then how do we respond to this? This is a pretty strong argument.

Quite correct my friend. But, realize, these are not found to be normalities of the brain for differences individually, but from an outside force again.
God Bless!!

Sure. But how can this be? Being criminal is a sin. How can a damage to the body cause you to sin? And do these sins count? What if I have an accident and then turn into a criminal?! 
Would these sins count? And I still don't understand this. I mean what about the conscience? If a brain injury can turn you into a criminal then this looks like everything is only based on the brain. Where is the conscience? This is a pretty good argument for atheists which say that the conscience is only based on the brain and how you were raised cause as soon as you have a brain injury you behave totally different.

My friend-
Remember when Christ declares that some miracles He does are so that others might believe? Because you and I cannot comprehend God's will in some cases, do you suppose this could be the reason for such a thing?
Would that not be a tremendous testimony of God's restoring and healing power to change a person with such damage to thinking and operating normal again?
Yes- You would still be held accountable. Why? God declares in His Word it will rain equally upon the just, as well as the unjust. Why? We ware still falable born in sin people while alive.
God Bless!!
