@cosmiccitizen Only know some fancy fact about the posterior cingulate cortex: if you ultrasound-stimulate it, you get much better at meditation[1]

@cosmiccitizen Yes, this is extremely interesting.
If I was ~10x more mad scientist I'd try to replicate their work on my own.
@niplav THIS IS INTERESTING.
Stuart Shanker describes how quieting these two areas is "priming for priming."
The Ramachandran brain encyclopedia describes, at various points, the relationship of the two areas. The delivery of dorsolateral prefrontal inputs to the cingulate cortex seems to provide the motivational impulse for internally-defined task sequences.
