I've often wondered if doing heavy brain-lifting (otherwise known as 'thinking') burns more calories, since I sure do feel wiped out after an intense study session. Well, unfortunately not so says this article on the Scientific American. According to these researchers the 'brain is a lazy bum.' No doubt true considering my short attention span!

Enjoy :)
