  • There's nothing quite like getting lost in an excellent book (or an article from your favorite science news site).

When you read, your brain engages in a complex process involving multiple regions, as revealed by recent scientific research. The angular gyrus, located in the parietal lobe, plays a crucial role in translating visual and auditory information into language, acting as a sort of "dictionary" that helps you understand words.
