Despite our feelings of neural superiority, we have no more upstairs than you would expect for a primate of our sizedoi:10.1016/S0262-4079(10)61863-5Alison MotlukThe New Scientist
Maybe the problem was with the basicassumptionthat all brains are made in the same way. Maybe two brains of a similar size can actually be made of very different numbers of neurons. Maybe a very large brain does not necessarily have more neurons than a more modest-sized brain. Maybe the ...
brains that evolved before the cerebral cortex(大脑皮层), the outer layer associated with thought and memory. There is plenty of evidence that many other mammals make play sounds, which are like human laughter.Indeed, animals are capable of many emotional feelings, just like humans, some ...
Recently, Wakefield’s students have been coming up to him because their parents are pressuring them to get help for their sadness; often the kids want no part of it. Rather than “listen to medicine,” they want to listen to their hearts. He believes these students’ reaction represents ...
That's because the size of the brain usually follows the size of the body. So the main reason for saying that our brain is larger than it should be actually comes from comparing ourselves to great apes. Gorillas can be two to three times larger than we are, so their brains should also...

▲ . A doctor who tried these models said that he wouldn’t know they were not real if he was not told.On the other hand, the research team had another problem to solve. Human organs have different textures (质地). For example, our brains are the softest. The team added special ...
However, there is another difference between human brains and computers. Computers don’t forget information they are given, but humans often do. No one remembers everything, and luckily we don’t usually have to. But everyone can improve their memories if they want to. Here are some ...
The human brain is amazing. People think and solve problems with their brains. What if a city had a “smart brain”? There might be something like that in Beijing! Beijing’s Haidian district has been working onitsince 2018. Recently, they added a big data (大数据) model called Jiuzhou ...
the part of the brain that helps us think and learn. This isn’t the first time scientists have tried to tackle creating a device that can resemble the thinking of the human brain, but this one’s special, because it’s not built like the others — it’s built like our brains. ...
