What if your ‘lizard brain’ never existed? Scientists challenge a 70-year-old theory and uncover the wiring battle that may have shaped human intelligence
- Published in Science Advances, the study draws on comparisons of biological brains and experiments on artificial neural networks to suggest a new framework for understanding the evolution of intelligence.
- For decades, the human brain was like some evolutionary skyscraper: ancient instincts on the bottom, emotions in the middle, and sophisticated reasoning on the top.
- That’s a good reason why we sometimes feel stuck between impulse and logic.
