The article informs how the subgenual cingulate cortex mediates real-life effects of nonexercise activity on energy. It also mentions showing a specific association of nonexercise activity with energy in two independent samples mediated by the subgenual part of the anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) by combining neuroimaging with ecological assessment of activity and Global Positioning System (GPS)-triggered smartphone diaries.
