The brain doesn't have a hidden "lizard": a 70-year-old myth debunked

An investigation involving 182 vertebrate species refutes the "lizard brain" theory that has dominated popular culture for about 70 years. The study concludes that the brain is not composed of evolutionary layers stacked on top of each other, from the most primitive to the most sophisticated. Instead, what really matters is the way neurons are connected at birth, a pattern that applies to both humans and other species. This discovery may have important implications for the development of more efficient artificial intelligence.
