Fun is the enjoyment of pleasure, particularly in leisure activities. Fun is an experience - short-term, often unexpected, informal, not cerebral and generally purposeless. It is an effective distraction, diverting the body and mind from any serious task or contributing an extra dimension to it. Although particularly associated with recreation and play, fun always be encountered during work, social functions, and even seemingly mundane activities of everyday living. It may often have little to no logical basis, and opinions on whether or not an activity is fun may may differ. A distinction between enjoyment and fun is difficult but possible to articulate, fun being a more spontaneous, playful, or active race. There are psychological and physiological implications to the hitting the ground with fun.Some scientists have identified areas of the brain associated with the thought of novelty, which are stimulated when faced with “unusual or surprising circumstances”. Information and facts are initially received in the hippocampus, the site of long-term memory consolidation, the brain attempts to match the new information with recognizable patterns stored in long-term memory. When it is unable to do this, the brain releases dopamine, a chemical which stimulates the amygdala, the site of emotion, and creates a nice feeling that is along with the new memory.In other words, fun is created by stimulating the brain with novelty.
