Article sounds interesting, but I want an actual page of text, not a flash layout. Here's links to each of the articles for those like me:

The God Chemical http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1042407...

The God Spot http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1042915...

Spiritual Virtuosos http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1043104...

The Biology of Belief http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1043517...

Near-Death Experiences http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1043970...




Indeed; It took me a good minute to figure out where the content was.

It's worthwhile information, but does anyone else feel like this story get pulled back into the light once every two years or so?

Telegraphically: "Overactive temporal lobe causes epileptic visions. NDEs. Meditation increases theta waves and drops parietal lobe activity. Is god real?"

I'd love to learn what actual progress has been made in understanding why or how these things work, rather than just the bare correlations. I need to find a good peer-reviewed journal of, how did they put it, neurotheology?
