Large language models spontaneously develop the same specialized brain regions humans have for language, math, physics, and social reasoning. No one designed this. It just emerged.
Two completely different optimization processes (biological evolution vs. gradient descent) independently arrived at the same solution.
Pengrui Han (Barry) (@pengrui_han): The human brain is strikingly modular, with distinct networks for language, formal reasoning, social reasoning, and physical reasoning. Is this a fundamental principle of how intelligent systems are built, or an accident of biological evolution?

Brain Score Tracks Shared Properties of Languages: Evidence from Many Natural Languages and Structured Sequences
This paper investigates whether Brain Score, a metric comparing language model representations to human fMRI activations during reading, is truly capturing human-like language processing or merely structural similarity. The researchers train language models on diverse natural languages and non-linguistic structured data (genome, Python, nested parentheses), finding that models trained on different languages and even non-linguistic sequences achieve similar Brain Score performance, suggesting the metric may not be sensitive enough to distinguish human-specific processing.
What language do language models speak?
The article investigates whether large language models have a 'mother tongue' (likely English) and how they process multilingual inputs via a shared concept space or 'semantic hub', using logit lenses to probe internal representations.
LLM Neuroanatomy III - LLMs seem to think in geometry, not language
Researcher analyzes LLM internal representations across 8 languages and multiple models, finding that concept thinking occurs in geometric space in middle transformer layers independent of input language, supporting a universal deep structure hypothesis similar to Chomsky's theory rather than Sapir-Whorf linguistic relativism.
