Intelligence and brain activity

Concerning the theory about more efficient neural circuits, a few months ago I ran into a study that gave more "intelligent" problem solvers more difficult problems. Their brains changed to show the same pattern of activity as the less effective groups with easier problems. More specifically, they found that the problems they gave superior problem solvers in earlier experiments were not difficult enough. When difficulty is controlled we see similar patterns of brain activity. Munkbob (talk) 00:59, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Some people propose that the Gut has a brain

Some people propose that the Gut has a brain, if this is true what proportion of cognitive capacity does it share with the head brain? Could my dog be smarter than my gut brain ?? 79.76.134.180 (talk) 15:57, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There actually can be holes in the brain

Yes, it is true that a lesion is not a hole, but an inactive area. However, holes can be made in the brain from diseases such as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Someone fix this, I don't know how.--Grouphug (talk) 23:33, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
