Brain Structured to Make Human Beings Religious, Claims a US Scientist

... of people belonging to different religions. The frontal lobe, the area right behind our foreheads, helps us focus our attention in prayer and meditation. The parietal lobe, located near the backs of our skulls, is the seat of our sensory information. Newberg says it's involved in that feeling of becomin...

The Science of Happiness

..., through neuroimaging, has found that the orbito frontal cortex , a ‘recent’ evolutionary development, correlates with subjective reports of pleasure, which incorporates cognitive and emotive judgments. Some scientists have proved that ‘happy images’ kindled that part of the brain that was associated with ...

Zolpidem Might Assist Patients With Akinetic Mutism

...thors demonstrated increased brain activity in the frontal cortex, which is associated with higher cognitive performances, with zolpidem. They suggest that the mechanism may be due to an activation of neural circuits in the brain that control movement and verbal expression, but that the lesions that occurred...
