Exploring the intricate link between belief and behavior, Dr. Robert Buckman analyzes the historical themes shared across various religions. He delves into neuroscience findings, particularly the role of the limbic system and right-hand temporal lobe in generating profound spiritual experiences. Buckman presents recent experiments suggesting that these brain areas may influence the formation of common religious beliefs and potentially the aggressive behaviors linked to them. Additionally, he examines the impact of pheromones on the limbic system, shedding light on crowd behavior dynamics.
