What is thoughts?
Thoughts are mental representations — ideas, beliefs, inner speech, images — generated by the cognitive system. They arise from the prefrontal cortex, default mode network, and language centers (Broca's, Wernicke's).
Key Aspects
- •Cognitive — distinct from raw sensation or emotion
- •Linguistic — often in the form of inner speech
- •Predictive — the brain generates thoughts to model and anticipate reality
- •Modifiable — cognitive reappraisal, reframing, and metacognition can alter thought patterns
