Figure 1 -

(A) Spirituality (or, more precisely “spiritual acceptance”) is measured by the Temperament and Character Inventory using a series of True or False self-report items. Spirituality is calculated as a single-value score based on participant responses across the items. Spirituality scores were obtained before and after neurosurgical resection of brain tumors, and changes in spirituality calculated from these longitudinal time points. (B) Lesion locations from the four patients with the greatest decrease in spiritual acceptance following neurosurgery; (C) lesion locations from the four patients with the greatest increase in spiritual acceptance.
