The human brain does not contain a single "God spot" responsible for mystical and religious experiences, a new study finds.

Does this work suggest there is a specific 'god spot' in the brain? Although the temporal lobes are clearly important in religious experience, they are not the whole story.

The nuns' brain scans didn't show any particular "God spot" of brain activity. Instead, several brain areas were active while the nuns reflected on their most intense mystical experience.

Beyond a single "God Spot," a new study identifies neural circuitry buried within a primal part of the human brain that may be tied to hyper-religiosity or a lack of spirituality.
