  • Title: The measurement of regional cerebral blood flow during glossolalia: a preliminary SPECT study.
    Author: Newberg AB, Wintering NA, Morgan D, Waldman MR.
    Journal: Psychiatry Res; 2006 Nov 22; 148(1):67-71. PubMed ID: 17046214.
    Abstract:
    Glossolalia (or "speaking in tongues") is an unusual mental state that has great personal and religious meaning. Glossolalia is experienced as a normal and expected behavior in religious prayer groups in which the individual appears to be speaking in an incomprehensible language. This is the first functional neuroimaging study to demonstrate changes in cerebral activity during glossolalia. The frontal lobes, parietal lobes, and left caudate were most affected.
