According to this article in the journal Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, ​researchers have discovered that our brain forms "cliques" of neuron into as many as 11 geometric dimensions. Although I'm still digesting this discovery and it's implication, I've provided this post and link as it does indeed appear to be on the frontier of neuroscience. Enjoy!

What does "geometric dimensions" mean?

 

As I understand the article, which I'm still digesting, geometric dimensions refer to the shape formed by the various connections within "cliques" or groups of neurons. The linked article I've provided contains examples for some of those shapes referenced.
