A new study found the relationship between spirituality and changes in certain areas of the brain, and that brain structure has evolved since ancient times influenced by how we think.
Scientists have long suspected that religiosity and spirituality could be mapped to specific brain circuits, but the location of those circuits remains unknown. Now, a new study using novel technology and the human connectome, a map of neural connections, has identified a brain circuit that seems to mediate that aspect of our personality.
The work appears in Biological Psychiatry, published by Elsevier.
