The Evolution of Neural Networks
Each individual element is a complete learning system. This is why I can take a human brain, cut it in half and it still works. We also are extremely flexible. And so that tells us that the learning algorithm is very generic. It's very universal because it doesn't assume any prior knowledge about what it's learning. So one of our predictions was if this evolutionary hypothesis is correct, we would see grid cell play cell equivalent cells that work like them through every column in the neocortex. That's starting to be seen.
