My map of the brain
Here is now my (static) view of the brain:

But the perhaps most intriguing point is that "humans" (Homo sapiens) and especially "philosophers" (i.e., those who "love" their own "ideas" and maps...) COULD easily switch from such contingent "activity circles" ("task modus") to some purely "internal" and "playful-rewarding" (and seemingly non-contingent) "activation circle" within some kind of "simulational mode" (or "default mode"? - see RAICHLE et al. 2001), resulting in some Intra-cranial Self-S(t)imulation deafferentiated from some "Umwelt" or "outer world"? – and all this due to the central switching ABILITY of the Basal Ganglia (which even include "reward centres" in the ventral Striatum):

Besides, no body today seems to have discovered (yet...) that the most perfect (and fastest) toy is not (external) cars, playing-cards, computers, game-boys, bodies, etc., but the "brain" (or better: map-maker) itself...
And shifting around with maps (and within Potential landscapes or a "rich" Self) is much more "rewarding" than anything else -- including the play with external (and rather arbitrary) toys, cars, computers, playing-cards, game-boys, etc.
