I don't need an answer to this statement. I just want to know what your reactions are. All I want is anything that came to your mind. I.e. What questions came to your mind? Do you guys have any ideas of why this might be occurring? I just want thoughts!!!
A normal part of brain development is the thickening and subsequent thinning of the cerebral cortex, which is the outer most layer of the brain that performs all out "higher" mental functions. Ironically, children who score very high on IQ tests lag (behind children who score in the normal range on IQ tests) on the timing of this corticcal development. Specifically, the brightest children reached their maximum corical thickness @ around 11, while normal kids at around 6 yrs old. So far no one know what is causing the changes in cortical thickness or how these changes in thickness are related to intelligence.
The first thing that came to my mind was a book I read many years ago on phrenology, and the question that came to mind will quackery ever end?
