What makes humans intelligent? These unique neurons might hold the key

TL;DR


Summary:
- The article discusses a study that has identified a unique type of neuron found only in the human brain, called the "rosehip neuron," which may be a key to understanding human intelligence.
- These rosehip neurons are found in the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for higher-order cognitive functions, and they appear to have a different structure and function compared to neurons found in other primates.
- The researchers suggest that the rosehip neurons may play a role in the human brain's ability to process complex information, make decisions, and engage in abstract thinking, which could help explain the unique cognitive capabilities of humans.
