brain spot between your eyes is region designed to pull back from doing something you were just about to do

About to post something online and have a powerful thought wash across you that says don’t? Scientists have found where that is coming from. Just think Run DMC, no, actually it’s called dFMC. Say it aloud a few times right now just so you get it straight: dFMC, dFMC, dFMC. Feel better? Don’t mind the strange looks of co-workers, family or friends. They have dFMCs too. Location pictured above, explanation below:

Web MD: Second Thoughts Are Real

Brass and Haggard find that a brain region just above and between your eyes — the dorsal fronto-median cortex or dFMC — is specifically designed to let you pull back from doing something you were just about to do.

The next time you see your favorite blogger (or insert here ____) make an ill-advised move — or maybe you just didn’t listen your self — just point to this post and say: “you should have listened to the dFMC.” It’s like the Force, only it’s in every one of our brains. Luke, I am your fathhhhheerrrrr.

No dFMC was avoided during the creation and publishing of this post.
