The early years are when the brain develops the most, forming neural connections that pave the way for how a child 鈥� and the eventual adult 鈥� will express feelings, embark on a task, and learn new skills and concepts. Scientists have even theorized that the anatomical structure of neural connections forms the basis for how children identify letters and recognize words. In other words, the brain’s architecture may predetermine who will have trouble with reading, including children…
Researchers at the 91探花 have developed a set of tools to make MRI studies of our central nervous system easier to share.
A scientist looking at MRI scans of human brains noticed a large fiber pathway that seemed to be part of the network that processes visual information. He just couldn’t couldn’t find it in any of the modern textbooks.
