Mysteries revealed intelligence ....
Apparently, no specific brain areas that make a person called smart or stupid. Most important is the strength and connection speed antarbagian brain. In fact, good connections antarbagian least certain brain determines intelligence.
"Intelligence is relying on specific relationships in the brain and these connections occur between gray matter (cortex of the brain that contains nerve cells) and white matter (white matter) or the nerve fiber connections," said Jan Glascher, lead researcher.
He added that someone could be called intelligent if the frontal part of the brain (associated with the intellect, memory, and emotion) has good connections with the parietal lobe.
Responding to this theory, Keith Young, chairman of psychiatry and researcher field behavioral science from Texas A & M Health Science College of Medicine, said the study results unexpected, but emphasized the importance of brain antarbagian relationship.
All this time people think smart people who will excel in all areas. "People assume general intelligence. If you are good at math, you will be great also in English, "said Young.
"Research shows no intelligent person would be good in many areas," said Glascher. In his research, he examined 241 patients who suffered brain damage. Researchers then mapped the damage in and do an IQ test.
"Thus, we can see exactly which parts of the brain associated with decreased ability to perform the test so we can know whether the brain is important for general intelligence," said Glascher.
In early studies, Glascher and his team found that brain tissue antarbagian also important for memory. "The better the connection between the brain, the greater your memory. This is different from the previous perception that says intelligent people are people who have a large memory capacity, "he said.
