With the many distractions that we could have while we work, may it be in the office or at his own home, it would really be difficult for us to complete tasks. Thankfully, we have a brain that makes our lives easier by shutting out these distractions, which thereby enable us to focus on the things we have to do. But how does this process work? This is what psychologist Edward Zagha and his team investigated in their study, which was published recently in the Journal of Neuroscience. While he and his team were not able to discover the exact process that happens in our brain, they were able to pinpoint the location where this stuff happens.
“Our discovery may have important implications for the understanding and treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and schizophrenia,” Zagha said. “By studying the mechanisms underlying the blocking of distracting stimuli we may be able to unravel the neural circuitry underlying attention and impulse control.”

I'd love to try the stuff just to say I had, but the quality of the liquor is I'm sure absolute crap.
The REALLY fowl stuff (pun intended) is some nordic or icelandic or inuit cultures (apologies, I don't remember which) actually put birds into bottles. That's very dangerous - much higher likelihood of contamination. The other animals aren't really that big of a deal.
It is absolutely foul by the way!!

I had some of the stuff, a friend has a neighbor that is from Vietnam, he had a few bottles of it. They poured the shot before I got to see the bottle, it was pretty potent stuff.
