Ultra-detailed brain map shows neurons that encode words’ meaning
For the first time, scientists identify individual brain cells linked to the linguistic essence of a word.
The results hint that, across individuals, the brain uses the same standard categories to classify words — helping us to turn sound into sense. But it’s a step along the way to working out how the brain stores words in its language library, says neurosurgeon Ziv Williams at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. His group recruited ten people about to undergo surgery for epilepsy, each of whom had had electrodes implanted in their brains to determine the source of their seizures.
