Brain structure characterization of huffaz (memorizers of the Quran): evidence from magnetic resonance imaging

The Government of Malaysia has developed various programmes to incorporate memorisation of the Quran among non-religious major students which include MRSM Ulul Albab and Darul Quran by JAKIM. However, to date, there is a lack of empirical evidence such programmes would induce change at the anatomica...
