In Nonbiological Man: He’s Closer Than You Think We will connect our biological neocortex to a synthetic neocortex in the cloud. This will be done by using medical nano-robots that go into the brain through the capillaries and provide wireless communication between our neocortical modules and the cloud in the same way that your smartphone today has wireless… Read More
primate evolution
In primate: General structure …known as the neopallium or neocortex. A neocortex is characteristic of higher vertebrates, such as mammals, which operate under the control of multiple sources of sensory input. In many mammals, the olfactory system dominates the senses, and the cerebral hemispheres consist largely of palaeocortex—the “smell brain”—of lower vertebrates. The arboreal… Read More
vertebrate nervous systems
In nervous system: Dominance of the cerebrum …a new association centre, the neopallium, appears between paleopallium and archipallium. In birds there is nothing corresponding to the neopallium, but the basal ganglia (that is, the corpus striatum) are enormously expanded. In mammals the neopallium becomes greatly enlarged, exceeding all the other parts of the brain in size. This… Read More
