La Estructura Cerebral y la Religión: La Justificación–validación de la Religión y Espiritualidad Cristianadesde el Funcionamiento Cerebral

The Justification-validation of Christian religion and spirituality from brain function", first addresses the problem of religious belief, which is activated in the human triune brain, that is the reptilian-sensory brain, the emotional brain and the cognitive brain. Religious belief is not a-cerebral, but is registered in the frontal area of the cerebral cortex, the same area that deals with abstract knowledge and higher operations; it is also traversed by intense activity of the emotion-memory. Secondly, the epistemic justification of religious forms, especially the Christian one, will be made, and it will be discovered that some religious expressions are not justified, insofar as they do not insert some necessary dimensions for validation; these dimensions are the external/sensory, the internal/emotional and the cognitive transcendent. The intercessions between the external world presented by the senses, the limbic system that provides emotion and vitality and, finally, the cognitive dimension, make religion a cerebral act that claims transcendence; instead, a rigorously justified Christian religious belief, through the concept of "religious experience" intersects the three dimensions noted above.
