Montréal (môNrāäl`), city (1991 pop. 1,017,666), S Que., Canada, on Montreal island, surrounded by St. Lawrence River and Rivière des Prairies. -- A study of 15 Carmelite nuns has called into question the theory that the human brain has a specific "God module," reports the U.K. Telegraph telegraph, term originally applied to any device or system for distant communication by means of visible or audible signals, now commonly restricted to electrically operated devices. Attempts at long-distance communication date back thousands of years (see signaling). . Nuns were asked to recall a mystical mys·ti·cal adj. 1. Of or having a spiritual reality or import not apparent to the intelligence or senses. 2. Of, relating to, or stemming from direct communion with ultimate reality or God: experience as their brains were being scanned. Scans showed brain activity in dozens of areas, rather than the one area suggested by previous studies. |
