The Effects of Mass Mutations on the Brain

John and his colleagues are still working on equations to explain exactly how those cells relate to each other. But they're also focused on another important question: How does everything they've learned about animal brains translate to humans? To find out, they've used virtual reality games. They hooked people up to brain scans and asked them to find things in the virtual space. And we found not only that this activated two parts of the brain, but also the bridal cortex - which is essentially the help made of the hippocampus.
