A recent neuroimaging study conducted in Finland revealed that sisters exhibit more similar brain activity than friends or acquaintances when watching a movie.
This increased similarity was particularly evident in brain areas associated with complex cognitive functions, including the default-mode network and sensory processing regions.
The study sheds light on the potential neural underpinnings of social bonds, suggesting the closeness of relationships is reflected in the way our brains process shared experiences.
The study demonstrates that homophily likely has a neural basis.
However, it should be noted that the number of study participants was very small, all were women, and they watched only a single movie.
Results from studies involving males, different movies, or larger groups of participants might not be identical.
