This area, nestled between the brain's two hemispheres, appears critical to a person's sense of inhabiting their own body, or bodily self, the team recently reported in the journal Neuron.
The finding could help researchers develop forms of anesthesia that use electrical stimulation instead of drugs. It could also help explain the antidepressant effects of mind-altering drugs like ketamine.
For interesting, straightforward longer reads about the brain's wierdness, Oliver Sack's the Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat is pretty good and Jill Taylor's memoir my Stroke of Insight is the report of a brain scientist about her own stroke and recovery.
