How are thoughts formed in the brain? Scientists have been trying hard to find out where the thoughts emerge within our brains. It is a complex task to find out how this is happening and whether the thoughts just come from nowhere. Are these thoughts the reaction against environmental situations. People assume that the thoughts appear as something in the mind which then pops out from our mouths.

It is thought that certain activities of the neurons in the brain results in the formation of thoughts. The neuronal processes which mediate and transmit thoughts have both proximal as well as distal causes. Proximal causes include the circumstances and stimuli which we experience in our lives. These experiences result in an impact on our body, where the forces react within the inside and outside of the body, leading to the stream of certain thoughts in specific circumstances, the distal causes of neural processes include our evolutionary history or experiential history.
