Selflessness

Selflessness, core of all major world religions, has neuropsychological connection 12/17/08. All spiritual experiences are based in the brain. That statement is truer than ever before, according to a University of Missouri neuropsychologist. An MU study has data to support a neuropsychological model that proposes spiritual experiences associated with selflessness are related to decreased activity in the right parietal lobe of the brain. The study is one of the first to use individuals with traumatic brain injury to determine this connection. University of Missouri-Columbia via Eurekalert!
