Although we have never talked in class about the default network, we have talked about the limbic system and the frontal cortex, which some parts of them are linked by the default network. I am not good at learning the parts of the brain and what they do. It is really hard for me to truly understand the anatomy part of psychology because I find it boring, yet I enjoy the behavior part. However when they are pair with a behaviour, it becomes easier for me to remember and understand them. Since now I know the limbic system and frontal cortex is linked with daydreaming, it will be easier to remember their functions and location. No matter how much I try, if I find something boring, I will retreat to my Wonderland. In other words, I daydream a lot. According to the article, 96% of the adult population daydream. It is a healthy way to deal with situations, however it is not normal to be daydreaming the majority of the time, like I do. Daydreaming in excess can indicate desolation in a person’s life.
