Dependencies
What this concept builds on and what it makes possible — derived from the atlas’s dependency, causal and structural relations, not from every related edge.
System context
Neural correlateis part ofCognitive neuroscienceEstablished
Finding correlates is the field's project.
Mechanism: Cognitive neuroscience proceeds by locating the brain activity that accompanies each mental function.
Neuroinformaticsis part ofCognitive neuroscienceEstablished
It is the data arm of brain science.
Mechanism: Neuroinformatics gives cognitive neuroscience the tools to store, share and model its data.
Structural role & consequence
Interpreted from the current atlas graph — what the connections mean, not just how many there are.
Currently dark in the atlas: no verified source · no key date stored · 4 of 4 of its relations lack claim-level evidence.
atlas representation · Describes the current Thinking OS representation, not the state of the world.
Structural neighbourhood: 4 → 22 → 88 concepts reachable within 3 hops.
structural · Structural reach — being reachable is not the same as being understood.
All 4 of its relationships stay within its own discipline — a field-specific concept in the current atlas.
structural · Structural graph analysis — not a claim of importance, causation or history.

Strengths & constraints
Constraints
- Evidence coverage currently thin in the atlas — few of its relationships carry claim-level evidence. atlas representation
- No dated history stored — the atlas records no key date for this concept. atlas representation
Conditions
- Read structurally — most of its relationships carry no external evidence yet, so claims here are graph-derived. structural
