"EPFL Study Reveals Unique Parallel Pathways in Human Brain"

Researchers at EPFL have discovered that the human brain uniquely transmits information through multiple parallel pathways, a trait not observed in macaques or mice. Using diffusion and functional MRI data, combined with information and graph theory, the team mapped "brain traffic" and found that these parallel pathways in humans might contribute to our advanced cognitive abilities. This finding could have implications for understanding brain evolution and potential medical applications, such as neurorehabilitation and the prevention of cognitive decline.
