Description

Sepideh Tabrik and three co-authors scan the resting brain after people learn new categories by sight or by touch, in a 2024 study. Sorting objects into groups is a daily act of thought, but how learning rewires brain networks was unclear.

Eighty-four adults learned object categories, about half by looking and half by handling. Brain scans at rest followed. After visual learning, a control network linked more strongly with a region for planning. After touch learning, it linked with visual and language areas instead. A movement network also tied into a memory region only after touch learning. The sense used for learning, the authors show, leaves a distinct fingerprint on the resting brain.
