Figure 5 -. Our brain circuit for spiritual acceptance aligns with prior literature on hyper-religiosity.

Figure 5 -

(top row, A – D) Case reports of lesion locations associated with hyper-religiosity (white outlines) intersect negative nodes of our spirituality circuit. (E) Brain regions previously associated with seizure-induced hyper-religiosity (hippocampus) intersects positive nodes of our spirituality circuit, but not adjacent brain regions not associated with hyper-religiosity (amygdala). Positive PAG connectivity is shown in warm colors while negative PAG connectivity is shown in cool colors.
