Recordings from thousands of neurons reveal how a person’s brain abstractly represents acts of reasoning.
Researchers have identified how the brain forms cognitive maps during inferential reasoning by analyzing neurons in epilepsy patients. The hippocampus, traditionally linked to physical space mapping, also structures cognitive processes. This study highlights how experiential and verbal learning impact neural representations, offering insights for potential neurological treatments.
Unveiling Neural Mechanisms of Inferential Reasoning
It takes brains to infer how any two things in the world relate to each other, whether it’s the way bad weather links to commuting delays or how environmental conditions lead to the evolution of
