We think of intelligence as something inherited and something developed, but what is it that we actually inherit that allows us to have a quality of intelligence?Could it be that we inherit genetic codes not for intelligence but for the brain to devise itself through the information that reaches it from the outside world, and then how the mind interprets the meaning of this information? If so this would explain why intelligence varies with people of different cultures and so of different social levels, as each group sees the collective meaning to information differently.‘The Brain Environment Complex’ builds upon this principle to examine how intelligence forms and develops in the individual, by examining how neural networks form in the foetus, and how these networks become shaped by the later psychology of the mind, as behavioural experiences alter the brain’s chemistry and so construct the ability for intelligence. Intelligence is far more associated with behavioural experiences than we understand, as both ride upon the emotions of the individual. To understand how intelligence comes to be in the individual, this book explains the roles of diet, language, emotion, and how a complex array of intellectual and behavioral strategies pull it into shape.To understand why intelligence is not so restricted in the individual as we have come to believe, we begin this book with a discussion of how the human brain is actually brought into construction. As we do this, we will see that the parts of the brain that deal with the body’s normal functioning are indistinguishable between individuals. The hindbrain of each person will be remarkably similar. In contrast to this we will find that the cerebral cortex, the part of the brain that deals with environmental information and so provides our ability for intelligence, will be uniquely shaped between individuals, as its neural networks were brought into formation by synapses being stimulated by desire
