Abstract
Religiosity and spirituality have been mapped to various brain networks1,2, and at least one study used transcranial magnetic stimulation to transiently alter religious beliefs.3 However, the effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) on religiosity has not yet been studied. Studies have shown a religiosity deficit in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD).4,5,6 Since PD is caused by dopamine depletion, it is ideal to explore the relationship between dopaminergic networks and religious beliefs. In contrast, essential tremor (ET) has no dopamine deficit and therefore acts as a control.
