Anatomical Discoveries

The transcript discusses the discovery of the Mid Fusiform sulcus, a previously unrecognized part of brain anatomy, and its implications for understanding brain function. The research, led by a teacher and a graduate student, Kevin Weiner, shows that brain anatomy can predict function more accurately than previously thought, even in higher-order areas. The discovery was not documented in anatomy textbooks, prompting historical research to understand why. The transcript highlights the challenges of documenting small anatomical features and the importance of large databases in confirming their existence.
