"Together, the two papers show that intelligence/consciousness are grounded in connectivity and activity patterns of neurons in the most neuron-dense part of the bird brain, called the pallium, neurobiologist Suzana Herculano-Houzel of Vanderbilt University, who wrote an analysis of the studies for Science, told STAT. Brains can appear diverse, and at the same time share profound similarities. The extent to which similar properties present themselves might be simply a matter of scale: how many neurons are available to work. Next time you see a lonely crow at a walmart parking lot, don't be a jerk to it. It might be pondering the meaning of existence and wondering why it was born. <cite>WingsOfGood posted [p:945059826] in Crows foun...

Ving_Rhames 09/25/20 7:46:23 AM #6:	Yeah, cats are significantly less intelligent than a lot of people think they are. Anyway, Corvid intelligence and all of their quirks has always been fascinating to me. Birds in general are all pretty interesting, but Corvid adaptability has clearly made them way more intelligent than they have any practical use for. Which I guess is why they can actually feel bored. >_> --- the real Irving Rameses https://imgur.com/A7f6F9h <cite>Ving_Rhames posted [p:945060146] in Crows foun...
