The paper investigates the relationship between logical reasoning and language by examining neural activity and patient performance, finding that logical reasoning does not rely on the language brain network.

The paper maps human cortical connectivity using es-fMRI and finds that functional similarity, not distance, primarily determines anatomical connections.

The paper identifies a human brain network specialized for abstract formal reasoning using fMRI and distinguishes it from other cognitive networks.

This study uses fMRI to show that physical reasoning involves a distinct brain network overlapping with the MD system but not the language system, suggesting it is not mediated by linguistic or exclusively domain-general abstract representations.

The paper shows that protein dynamics impose evolutionary constraints and that unsupervised language models can predict these constraints from sequence data.
