Your Brain Already Knows How to Code — Here’s the Proof!

Can learning to code change your brain? 🧠💻
Researchers used fMRI scans to study college students before and after a semester of learning Python.
They discovered that the brain’s fronto-parietal reasoning network, which handles logic and math, lights up both when reading code and before learning it — even when reading pseudocode.
That means your brain doesn’t need to invent new circuits for coding — it simply repurposes old ones, proving that human logic and programming share the same biological roots.
