Grid Cells Can Map Any Dimensional Space
53:52 - 58:01 (04:09)
Researchers have found that grid cells in the brain can map out any dimensional space by using two-dimensional reference frames. This allows rats placed in unknown environments to orient themselves and navigate to find rewards.

The basic principles of how different layers in the neocortex are responsible for intelligence are now more understood, but there are still some mysteries especially with grid cells and place cells in the old parts of the brain, which could be key pieces to intelligence.

Summary
The basic principles of how different layers in the neocortex are responsible for intelligence are now more understood, but there are still some mysteries especially with grid cells and place cells in the old parts of the brain, which could be key pieces to intelligence. Using the 1000 brain theory of intelligence as a framework for predicting and solving problems can still be helpful.
