Your brain on religion

15May08

Just some random thoughts on the neuroscience behind religion. What is religion ? How are our religious beliefs generated? Do we have a center in the brain dedicated to religion (is there a religion center in the brain?) Role of temporal lobe and limbic structures in religion. Some patients with temporal lobe epilepsy are hyperreligious. Does the temporal lobe house the religion center of the brain?

I shall be musing about these thoughts further.
