Scientists at The Ohio State University have charted how patterns of brain wiring can predict activity linked to many mental functions across the entire brain. Each region shows a distinct “connectivity fingerprint” tied to roles such as language and memory. The peer‑reviewed findings in Network Neuroscience offer a baseline for studying healthy young adult brains and for comparisons with neurological or psychiatric conditions.
A bonobo named Kanzi has demonstrated the ability to engage in make-believe play, a cognitive skill previously unseen in non-human primates. In experiments conducted shortly before his death, Kanzi participated in a pretend tea party involving imaginary juice and grapes. The findings suggest that our closest primate relatives possess the capacity for imagination.

Researchers at Rutgers Health have identified how the brain integrates fast and slow processing through white matter connections, influencing cognitive abilities. Published in Nature Communications, the study analyzed data from nearly 1,000 people to map these neural timescales. Variations in this system may explain differences in thinking efficiency and hold promise for mental health research.
