Abstract
In the context of brain evolutionary processes, thalamus plays important role in shaping of spirituality. Animal and human brain structure and function shows evolutionary leap between infraorbital region and prefrontal cortex which gives foundation for searching there human spirituality. Neuroscientists does not only associate human spirituality with brain evolution and development but also see foundations of morality and consciousness in its structures. Recent neurobiological research results are very insightful in what used to be exclusively philosophical area of expertise. Considerations presented in the article include language, morality, rationality and mind in context of evolution.
