Cognition and Intelligence  
We present a theory of neural processing that is derived from the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). According to the neural principles described here, fluid intelligence arises from a highly adaptive, flexible neural system. The theory is composed of a set of operating principles for cortical computation. Together these principles suggest that intelligence arise from a dynamically configured set of brain areas that collaborate adaptively to meet a cognitive challenge.
