Summary
Chapter 6 introduces astonishing neuroscience methods for studying synapses, neurons, circuits, and networks that move intelligence research even deeper into the brain. Soon we might measure intelligence based on brain speed and build intelligent machines based on how the brain works. Collaborative efforts around the world are hunting relevant genes, creating virtual brains, and mapping brain fingerprints unique to individuals that predict intelligence. Overlapping neuro-circuits for intelligence, consciousness, and creativity are explored. Finally, this chapter introduces the terms “neuro-poverty” and “neuro-SES” (social economic status) and explains why neuroscience advances in intelligence research may inform education policies.
