While I can't tell you how TL12 would
really work, or how alien brains would
really function, according to the
game rules in Bio-Tech at TL12 you can add a maximum of +4 to the horse's racial IQ of 3 giving an IQ of 7.
It would be nice to still be alive when we hit TL12 to reality check GURPS rules then, and maybe by then we'll have encountered alien life so we can ask them about their genetic engineering...
