the anterior mid singulate cortex is not just sitting there to allocate and Dole out different amounts of energy and activation to different brain areas it is also receiving input from both the brain and body and in sort of a beautiful Twist on the whole story of what the anterior mid singulate cortex does we know that when we move our body we are activating the anterior mid singulate cortex and we know that when we move our body because we in some way forced ourselves or encouraged ourselves to do it we activate the anterior mid singulate cortex more similarly and because the Anor mid singulate cortex is so flexible in the different context in which it can be activated if we are simply reading or we are listening to something that we're supposed to learn or trying to learn a piece of music or trying to do anything for that matter the anterior mid singulate cortex yes will be activated but that its levels of activation are far greater when we experience a lot of resistance that we have to overcome
