Abstract

Our brain is more than the sum of its parts. The when, where, and how of learning and memory processes still involve many unsolved hypotheses that therefore need to be investigated. How does the human brain encode its own learning and memory processes, and how does the topology of its expanded social network exhibit neural patterns similar to the neural patterns of our friends and community connections?
