Because speech and music share
similar brain networks, it's possible that musical training thus could also improve linguistic abilities.

«What we can see is that space - time at the quantum - scale might be
networked in a very
similar way to things we are starting to understand very well like biological
networks in cells, our
brains and online social
networks.»
Seeking additional insight into
similar mechanisms at work in other centers of the
brain, Donato and his team discovered that the signal to develop one area known to be involved in more abstract functions, including memory and navigation, originated from deep within the
brain, in a specific population of neurons that kicks off the maturation of an entire neural
network.
To study
brain network reconfiguration, the Rutgers scientists compared participants» resting - state
networks to the
networks active during language, reasoning, and memory tasks and computed how
similar each task - related
network was to the resting - state
network.
Instead of changing to accommodate a job, connectivity in key
brain networks of autistic children looks
similar to connectivity in the resting
brain.
The new research shows that, in autism, connectivity in these
networks that can be seen on fMRI scans is fairly
similar regardless of whether the
brain is at rest or performing a task.
The team also checked the fMRI readings to determine whether any other
brain regions had a
similar pattern of activity, which would indicate that the
brain networks were communicating with one another.
It is possible, even likely, that addiction
networks for cocaine and for food operate in different parts of the
brain yet use
similar mechanisms.
It is also the first to demonstrate that a deep convolutional neural
network — a computing system modelled after the neuron activity in animal
brains that can basically learn on its own — can effectively differentiate between
similar plants with an amazing accuracy of nearly 100 %.
Although the neural
networks that seem to be affected in Tourette's and OCD are distinct, they nonetheless involve
brain regions with
similar functions — in particular, motor activity and decision making.
Faster and more powerful computers: CeNTech Prof. Wolfram Pernice from the Physical Institute of the University of Münster, together with scientists from Belgium, France, Great Britain and Switzerland, want to develop an intelligently
networked computer technology that works in a
similar way to a
brain.
Therefore, when functional
brain networks are constructed at the voxel - level, a resolution
similar to ICA, a
network based approach offers distinct advantages over ICA in understanding the overall organization of the
brain network.
Even though both ICA and graph theory - based
network approach can find
similar organization structure in the
brain, a
network approach offers two advantages.
At rest, spontaneous
brain activity measured by fMRI is summarized by a number of distinct resting state
networks (RSNs) following
similar temporal time courses.

networks to process information in ways
similar to the ways our
brains do, according to an article yesterday from Wired.

similar logic, we first tested our hypothetical topographic model of the functional - anatomic organization of
brain networks subserving social cognition (Fig. 1).
