Concerning the theory about more efficient neural circuits, a few months ago I ran into a study that gave more "intelligent" problem solvers more difficult problems. Their brains changed to show the same pattern of activity as the less effective groups with easier problems. More specifically, they found that the problems they gave superior problem solvers in earlier experiments were not difficult enough. When difficulty is controlled we see similar patterns of brain activity. Munkbob ( talk) 00:59, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Some people propose that the Gut has a brain, if this is true what proportion of cognitive capacity does it share with the head brain? Could my dog be smarter than my gut brain ?? 79.76.134.180 ( talk) 15:57, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
Yes, it is true that a lesion is not a hole, but an inactive area. However, holes can be made in the brain from diseases such as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Someone fix this, I don't know how.-- Grouphug ( talk) 23:33, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
Also, wouldn't brain ventricles containing CSF technically be considered holes? Unless I am severely over thinking this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.99.95.19 ( talk) 22:48, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Couldn't this article be included in the list of common misconceptions article and removed from here? It is quite small and almost undeserving of its own space. Andrew Colvin ( talk) 23:25, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
From the glial cell article: "In the human brain, there is roughly one glia for every neuron with a ratio of about two neurons for every three glia in the cerebral gray matter." From this article: "Another possible origin of the misconception is that only 10% of the cells in the brain are neurons; the rest are glial cells that, despite being involved in learning, do not function in the same way that neurons do." The numbers do not match. One of these must be wrong. 21:33, 19 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.96.228.232 ( talk)
The article says :
"Einstein is reported as quipping that people typically only use 10% of their brains. The popular press took this as fact, although the comment was meant only facetiously. [1]"
The given reference doesn't confirm the assertion. Marvoir ( talk) 15:49, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
This page has long been troubled. Let's just merge it into List of common misconceptions. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 21:09, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
I'm going ahead with it. -- Tryptofish ( talk) 23:02, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
