CERTAIN parts of the brain - which control scepticism and vigilance - appear to deactivate in some people when they're in the presence of a speaker who they believe has divine healing powers, scientists in Denmark have found.
Researchers recruited 36 male and female participants; about half were devout Christians from the Pentecostal church, while the other half were non-religious.
The participants who considered themselves religious believed that some people could possess divine powers of healing. The non-religious participants did not believe this.
