UnverifiedThe brain preferentially activates circuits that have been frequently used recently, causing effort-saving behaviors to continuously self-reinforce over time, which is referred to as the neural pathway of least resistance preference.66% similarUnverifiedThe motor cortex is a band of territory at the rear of the brain's frontal lobe, responsible for planning and executing voluntary movement, and mapped to body parts in a homuncular scheme.65% similarVerifiedThe brain possesses neuroplasticity, meaning neural connections are strengthened or weakened based on frequency of use.61% similarUnverifiedfMRI studies show that when subjects read sentences involving concrete actions, the corresponding regions of the brain's motor cortex are synchronously activated.60% similarUnverified僵尸蚂蚁真菌（蛇形虫草属）在肌肉纤维间生长并分泌神经活性化合物劫持蚂蚁运动控制系统，2011年研究揭示其不直接侵入大脑58% similar
