"If you, like many people, have spent your workday in a Walter Mitty–like haze wishing you were anywhere but the office, your medial temporal lobe subsystem, precuneus, medial prefrontal subsystem, and posterior cingulate cortex—the regions dispersed throughout the brain that together make up the DMN, a key player in daydreaming—have been lit up like a Christmas tree."
WOW! That is totally me right now! And here I thought I was being wholly unproductive and doing nothing. Who knew my precuneus was getting such a workout?
That quote incidentally came from an article I read entitled The Anatomy of a Brain Fart. Don't ask how I discovered this article. It was just happenstance. It's a quick easy read though, very scientific and they use the word fart like, 14 times!(It is a mystery to me why I chuckle every time I see the word "fart"...see? I just did it again!) So is totally worth the five minutes. Ok...I have to go. It's back to stimulating my posterior cingulate cortex...*sigh* I am so busy!
