A diagram combines a 3D brain connectome with text and geometric shapes, with arrows pointing to areas labeled "The child bent down to smell the rose." A list and graph are shown on the left, illustrating how words in the brain are processed.
The findings show that even small areas in the brain may have the potential to represent complex meanings.

You know that ghostly feeling that someone is nearby even though nobody is? It could be a trick of neural timing.
Children who have a brain hemisphere removed — a procedure known as hemispherectomy — behave completely normally.
