Aphantasia Linked to Unique Brain Connectivity Patterns
Originally Published 7 months ago — by Neuroscience News
Scientists have studied aphantasia, a condition where individuals cannot visualize mental images, revealing that their brains activate similar regions as typical individuals but with weaker connectivity, indicating that mental imagery depends on neural integration rather than mere activation. Despite lacking internal visuals, aphantasic individuals retain visual knowledge, suggesting imagery isn't essential for understanding or creativity.
