Possible foundations of human intelligence observed for the first time

Possible foundations of human intelligence observed for the first time

A study has demonstrated how neurons in the human brain generate memories and establish narratives. Contrary to previous beliefs, individual neurons represent the concepts we learn, regardless of the context in which we encounter them. This allows humans, unlike other animals, to establish higher and more abstract relationships, which lays the foundation of human intelligence.

Scientists observe possible 'foundation of human intelligence' for first time

For the first time, scientists have confirmed that the human brain processes memories in a way that's remarkably different from other species — a finding that may reveal a key foundation of human intelligence.

Possible foundations of human intelligence: Study demonstrates how neurons store memories independently of context

A study led by Dr. Rodrigo Quian Quiroga, group leader of the Neural Mechanisms of Perception and Memory Research Group at the Hospital del Mar Research Institute, has allowed scientists to observe for the first time how neurons in the human brain store memories independent of the context in which they are acquired.
