Ill use my favorite subject - religion. fMRI shows activity in a particular
area of the brain when people are thinking about or feeling religious. People
like myself, who have no sense of "spirituality" possibly will never have this
part of my brain active in the same way. Does this part of the brain cause the
release of neurochemicals that effect the retention of the meme? or in my case
deter retention of the meme? I have no idea, but I bet the fMRI will help to
answer these.
