Neuroscience involves physiology, anatomy, molecular biology, psychology, and many other disciplines. Spirituality involves dimensions of human life that relate to the way people experience, express, or seek meaning, purpose and transcendence. Spirituality includes the way we connect to the moment, to ourselves, to others, to nature, or the sacred.
