RE: Someone Calling you Birdbrain? Don't be Offended. Intelligence Part 2.
Dear @flyyingkiwi,
I think this is not related to the packing density of neurons in Alex's brain. perhaps this is due to a fewer neuronal connectivity in his brain. in agreement with that, a recent study published in nature communications has shown that individuals with higher IQ have a fewer connection between his/her brain neurons. And this is contrary to the previous studies that suggested that the larger brain size have higher intelligence.
.. by the way, Thank you for your great article.
Hi, if possible could you link to the nature communications article, I would like to read it.
The bigger brain= more intelligence rule works well within a taxonomic order. For example, humans have much bigger brains than other primates and are more intelligent. However when you’re comparing species from different orders the rule doesn’t work very well. The brain of a giraffe is almost twice the size of an orangutan brain, but the orangutan is thought to be much more intelligent.
