Imagination in the Brain

Hi!

My question is, what part of the brain would contribute to the imagination of a place?

Example, I imagine going to Paris and what it would be like to stand in front of the Eiffel Tower and the golden lights that sparkle off it at night.

There are a combination of areas involved. In your example above there would be inputs from memory, the vision centers and other areas like the ones responsible for emotion.

Thank you. Would this be related to to Occipital Cortex/lobe?

That is most certainly one of the areas involved, yes. There would also likely be activation in the areas related to spatial awareness. Do you know what region that is called?
