The shape of the brain might play a greater role on our thoughts, feelings, and actions than traditionally believed, according to a new study in the journal Nature.
Researchers in Australia took brain MRIs of 255 people while they were doing things like tapping their fingers or recalling a series of images.
The researchers also looked at 10,000 maps of brain activity from more than 1,000 experiments around the world to learn more about how brain shape affects brain function.“The comparison showed that the new model provided a more accurate reconstruction of the brain activity shown in the MRI scans and brain activity maps than the prior model,”reported.
Pang said neural interaction is important, but the shape of the surface of the brain might be more essential in how it functions. He also said brain shape is easier to measure than wiring, so it could lead to new research possibilities."It would be an understatement to say this is a controversial theory, and it really needs to be put through its paces to evaluate critically whether it stands the test of time," said David Van Essen, a neuroscience professor at Washington University in St. Louis.NBC News: “The shape of your brain may strongly influence your thoughts and behavior, study finds.
