Digital illustration of a brain surrounded by two distinct visual patterns. One side is composed of structured blue connections resembling an organized network map, while the other features colorful, dispersed light patterns, representing distributed neural activity. The image symbolizes competing brain architectures explored in the study.
Researchers found that coordinated changes across brain systems may be explained by two distinct wiring strategies — spatially organized circuits and distributed networks — that expand and contract together over evolution.
