which is required
when a person begin
to open up to his

living that everyone is
heir to.

intelligence or the
necessary
foundation for the
effective functioning

2000)..

University of California to identify a
particular, very special spot in the
human brain. With the help of latest
medical technology, ‘Positron Emission
Topography’ was used in locating this
spot among neural connections in the
temporal lobes of the brain; whenever
research subjects were exposed to
discuss about spiritual or religious
topics, the lighting up of neural areas
near that particular spot was noted on
scans taken with ‘positron emission
topography’; hence, the term ‘God-
spot’ to refer to this particular location
in the brain
