You’re working diligently on a project and your mind begins to wander as you look out the window and daydream different scenarios about what a squirrel-shaped cloud could be chasing. Recent research from a Harvard study of mice finds that this daydream detour may play a role in brain plasticity.
On Cincinnati Edition, we’ll learn more about daydreaming and what the research shows.
