Reverse-engineering of the brain attempts to unravel how experimental facts of the brain contribute to brain-like computation. For example, so-called ‘intelligence’ is likely emerged from spontaneously active, super-complex network in the brain, which are distinct from common characteristics in conventional computers. One of the most likely mechanisms of this emergent intelligence is the Darwinian principle. In the cerebral cortex, the theory of neural Darwinism predicts that variation and selection within neural populations are crucial to adaptive computation. We demonstrated that the Darwinian principle may underlie the emergent properties in the brain in both in vitro and in vivo experiments.
