The capacity for the development of the human brain reached its maximum, and mankind has not become more intelligent, according to Daily Mailso referring to scientists from the University of Cambridge (Cambridge University), UK. It turns out that for the further development of the human brain need more oxygen and more energy than is physically possible to provide. In such conclusions came neuroscientist Simon Laulin (Simon Laughlin) on the basis of studying the structure of the human brain.
"We were able to prove that to work, the brain needs to expend energy and this greatly limits its possibilities", - he said. "The ability to generalize is very energy-intensive, as it requires the analysis of different information originating from different sources. Lack of power limits our ability to analyze the information ».
In order to reduce their energy costs, the brain must forge new links between different sites, which would enable faster exchange of information. However, in order to establish these relationships also requires energy, lack of which requires new linkages. This vicious circle leads to only one conclusion - the development of the human brain has reached its ceiling.
