how is the brain able to give us images when we are imagining something?
In: Biology
Different parts of the brain have different jobs. Some process vision, others process and store memories, etc.
One of the jobs of the prefrontal cortex allows us to imagine scenarios, but it can activate the same vision parts of the brain that we use to process what we see. Because the different areas interact with each other they can cause one area to activate when another one is used. Similar to smells bringing up memories.
