Research. Apparently, we are still evolving! Programming code is not activating the usual suspect brain regions - math, language or logic. Such type of activity rather activates a so called multiple demand network, which processes several signals from different areas of the brain and both hemispheres. Sounds quite renaissance!
With, that, I demand that IT profession is classified as exact science!
OK OK, just kidding. But still, brings a whole another perspective on how we think. And code.

Research. The waste removal system in the brain apparently is synchronized with the internal circadian clock that regulates sleep and wake cycle. That might mean that people who nap during the day either because of irregular work schedule or because they are trying to catch up with the lack of sleep during the night are at higher risk of having neurological disorders. Most of the brain "cleanup" happens during our usual sleep cycle (night for most of us), and also during the sleep. And if we do not do that - brain is more exposed to the detrimental impact of the toxins.
