Topic - If you’re smart, your brain is wired better
It’s probably no surprise to you that smart people have brains that are physically designed to outperform the average brain. This is because two regions associated with reasoning are more tightly connected to other areas that are necessary to solve problems. The areas of the brain that aren’t necessary to solve problems aren’t tightly connected. Basically, smart people can more easily determine which pieces of information are important to solve problems and which ones should be ignored. Intelligent people also have a greater capacity to focus and avoid distraction. The brain, just as the muscles, gets very good at what it practices. Give the brain regular exercise by working through challenging tasks, paying attention, and seeking intellectually stimulating material. Keep your brain healthy by avoiding toxins, alcohol, drugs and risk-taking behaviors.
