Mind mapping is a visual technique that structures a central thought through branching terms and relationships.
Tony Buzan popularized the modern name and presentation from the 1970s onward. The underlying idea of arranging thoughts graphically is older and cannot be attributed to one person.
Place the topic in the center. Branch into main aspects and add short, meaningful terms below them. Colors, images, and cross-links reveal patterns; the map stays open to new branches. It is a thinking and conversation medium, not an automatically complete representation of knowledge.
