Intelligence emerges when the whole brain works as one
SMRTR summary
Notre Dame researchers discovered that human intelligence doesn't come from specific brain regions but emerges when the entire brain works together as a coordinated system. Using brain imaging data from nearly 1,000 adults, they found that general intelligence depends on how efficiently distant brain networks communicate and balance local specialization with global integration, potentially explaining why AI systems struggle with flexibility compared to humans.
