During rest, the brain is restored: memories are formed in the hippocampus, and cerebrospinal fluid passes through the nervous tissue, “cleansing” the brain. It can be observed ripples in the hippocampus - high-frequency oscillatory events important for memory formation.

Comfort

When we are inspired, our bodies produce more serotonin and dopamine. It’s the moment when logic turns off. Inspiration originates in a specific area in the human brain: it lives in the superior temporal sulcus, roughly under our right ear. When inspiration hits, it looks like peaks of gamma rays in the brain, which are anticipated by a “flash” of waves in the visual cortex, in the back of the head.

Creativity

In depression, a reduced amount of gray matter was found in the cerebral cortex, especially in the frontal zone. This part of the brain is responsible for “must”, volitional purposeful activity.

Sadness

At the moment of experiencing something new, the brain receives information that needs to be processed, and as a result, new dendrites appear in it - outgrowths of neurons, thanks to which the brain can process a larger amount of data. Thus travel and adventure provide the opportunity to develop the brain.

Adventure

During orgasm, almost the entire brain is active. However, in some areas of the brain, activity is still reduced. This is the lateral orbitofrontal cortex, which is responsible for controlling behavior. Deactivation of control occurs only during orgasm. So far, no other activity has been found that causes a similar effect.
