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.
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have identified 'cognitive surrender,' where people outsource reasoning to AI without verification. In experiments, participants accepted incorrect AI responses 73.2 percent of the time across 1,372 participants. Factors like time pressure increased reliance on flawed outputs.

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.
