Neuroscientists Map 'God Module'
http://www.catalaw.com/detox/reverse/10.shtml

At first I thought it was kind of interesting, but it raised
my "suspicion" flags. PubMed comes up empty on "Naptik".
I'm not saying the comments in the article don't make
sense, I'm just questioning whether it is someone writing
something up to seem like a "scientific announcement".
Never trust the net...

On the other hand PubMed for:
Ramachandran VS [au]
turns up quite a bit of interesting work. Unfortunately
nothing I could tie directly to the "God module" which
seems to have been announced at a Neuroscience meeting
in '97 or '98.

Some URL's of interest:

http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Agora/8877/wired_for_god.htm
(the last may be a bit questionable...)

Google on "god module" and neuroscience if you want to
avoid all the stuff about what I think is a musical group.
