00:00There's still a lot we don't know about the brain, but so far, experts have agreed that our thoughts, feelings,
00:06and behavior are the result of billions of interconnected neurons that transmit signals to each other, thereby enabling communication between
00:15regions of the brain.
00:16A study published in the journal Nature is challenging that. This new research suggests the brain's size, curves, and grooves
00:24may play important roles in its function, perhaps even more than the connections between neurons, reports NBC News.
00:32Researchers created a new computer model that simulated the way a brain's size and shape affect brain waves, and they
00:40realized that this new model provided a more accurate reconstruction of the brain activity shown in the MRI scans and
00:47brain activity maps than the prior model.
00:50Researchers added that this is not to say that connectivity isn't important, but that the shape of the brain has
00:56a stronger influence than previously thought.
