The larger the circle, the more neural connections — highly connected areas create big circles, and areas of few connections are dots. You can see that the biggest circles are concentrated in the back of your brain, roughly in the middle between the two hemispheres. That central position for the core processor might be a result of high chatter levels between the left and right hemispheres of the brain. Though everyone's brain is slightly different, most share this same fundamental neurological pattern. You can see an even more revealing image below.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://io9.com/5020914/first-look-at-the-structural-core-of-the-human-brain"><P>Basically, this is an early network road map of the human brain. We can use it to figure out not just how we think, but where we think. Literally, we are looking at where thoughts traverse the structures of our brains.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://io9.com/5020914/first-look-at-the-structural-core-of-the-human-brain"><P><A href="http://biology.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.0060164&ct=1">Mapping the Connection Matrix of the Human Brain</A> [PLoS Biology]</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/B1DA648E-2D68-4F57-BB7F-041911D075ED/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
