A
nickname for a part of the
brain discussed at the 1997
symposium for the
Society for Neuroscience. This is a part of the brain that apparently seems very
involved in producing
religious feelings. While there aren't claims that it's the
cause of them yet, there is evidence in that direction. Stronger believers have this part of the brain more
active, and subjects who have had this part externally
stimulated have reported having
religious experiences.
