Studying the brains of living people explained the development of intelligence – Neuroscientists

Human neurons are not only small features of the structure, but the behavior caused by greater compartmentalization and therefore more power of a link.

Neuroscientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have examined the characteristics of signal transmission in the neurons of the human brain and analyzed the brain structures of living volunteers. Scientists seized the opportunity and, with the consent of the population during the epilepsy surgery, seized representatives of Homo Sapiens in the regions of the anterior temporal lobe of the brain of the size of a fingernail. It should be noted that such an intervention will not cause harm to the volunteers because the brain is able to compensate for such a minimal loss. The brain areas in the cerebrospinal fluid, which ensured their safety, and studied the process of electrochemical nerves to transfer messages over a long distance than anyone. Earlier in this pathway, we studied the propagation of pulses through the neurons of rats. However, despite their intelligence and ingenuity, they can only transfer information at a short distance.

Overall, it has been discovered that the human brain consists not only of a large number of neurons and a developed cerebral cortex, but also of a behavior completely different from the neurons and their structure. "In human neurons, there is a lot of compartmentalization, which allows them to be more independent, which can potentially increase the computational capacity of a single neuron," says Harnett. In human neurons, however, the fastest signals weaken and include an equal number of ion channels, located at a greater distance from each other, and they generally behave very differently. Small differences in the structure of brain structures and their behavior explain the existence of human intelligence.

In the future, neuroscientists will discover what has a greater impact on information processing and whether there is a relationship between the transmission of electrical impulses to the structural and functional units of the nervous system and their architecture.
