high intelligence - neural corellates


Recommended Posts

There are people like Terence Tao, Ed Witten, Grigori Perelman, Lennard Ng and probably 1000s of others areound the world who are super smart.

 

Any clues of what distinguishes their brains from the brain of an average person from the street?  There is some degree of correlation between intelligence and cortical thickness as well as brain volume.  What else?
