The brain dictionary.

Where exactly are the words in your head? Scientists have created an interactive map showing which brain areas respond to hearing different words. The map reveals how language is spread throughout the cortex and across both hemispheres, showing groups of words clustered together by meaning. The beautiful interactive model allows us to explore the complex organisation of the enormous dictionaries in our heads.

Interesting description of the fundamental way the brain works. Each area process concepts. When listening to a story, the brain area get activated as the words with appropriate context are identified.

The language remain located in the 2 known places; Broca for understanding spoken language, the other closer to visual area to read words. Everywhere else, it is just labels that we add to explain the concept manipulated by each brain area.
For example, the two locations with the label «family» are areas that become active when thinking about any family. But the English word 'family" is still recognized in the Broca area. Once Broca identify the word «family», then it trigger one or more brain areas which know the concept.

It's just incredible how the brain keep a new word and organize it to specific areas in the brain, I'd never imagine that, everytime I learn bout my own brain I'm sure that chemical is the best thing of this fucking universe

I could kind of understand depression with this video, as when following one word after another, they align in groupings. One side of a word will have the opposite of it on the other side. It's kind of like having conscience on each side. A check and balance of good and bad.

blown away — when we forget does the real estate in brain become available for new words?

we know how deaf and blind usurp other brain estate for processing and storage to compensate
