Abstract
This commentary emphasizes the critical role of white matter tracts in technological cognition, complementing Federico et al.'s (2025) hub-and-processor model focused on cortical regions. Diffusion tensor imaging highlights white matter pathways as essential for integrating visuospatial, semantic, and motor information, underpinning complex tool use and technological interaction. The disconnectionist perspective reveals that cognitive deficits often arise from disrupted white matter connectivity. Additionally, the emerging concept of "digital dementia" underscores the impact of excessive digital exposure on brain networks. Integrating white matter connectivity advances clinical understanding and informs rehabilitation strategies for technological cognition deficits.
期刊介绍：
Cognitive Neuroscience publishes high quality discussion papers and empirical papers on any topic in the field of cognitive neuroscience including perception, attention, memory, language, action, social cognition, and executive function. The journal covers findings based on a variety of techniques such as fMRI, ERPs, MEG, TMS, and focal lesion studies. Contributions that employ or discuss multiple techniques to shed light on the spatial-temporal brain mechanisms underlying a cognitive process are encouraged.
