Thank you for the replies and please excuse my lack of understanding, but if I'm sitting in meditation, having reduced external factors/perceptions, what is causing the random thoughts to appear? I'm trying to trace it right back to the beginning of the thought arising.

Doesn't thought arise through memories of the previous contact of the sense bases and resultant feelings/moods/experiences if there are no external stimuli present ?

Other than that, I think perhaps its something to do with neurons and the brain, is it
not ?
