Although there are natural changes in aging in terms of mental functions such as memory or executive functions, it seems relevant to find which health variables are associated with a greater decline in them, in order to prevent them.
Making our brains work requires a lot of energy and humans pay a high price for being so intelligent, since this made us physically weaker compared to other primates, says a new study carried out by a team of researchers from the University of Massey (New Zealand).
A new study in which scientists from five different countries have collaborated, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and France, affirms that the rate of change in the thickness of the cerebral cortex is a determining factor in the intelligence quotient (IQ) of a person and that this is not a fixed value throughout life. The work has been published in the journal NeuroImage.
Children who score high on IQ tests tend to stand out later for their academic achievements, their financial management, and even their health. This tendency to success has always been linked to greater intelligence. However, a new study has revealed that the IQ largely reflects the child's motivation when taking the test, indicating that the effort put into achieving a goal is as important as the intelligence itself.
There are many people who think that intelligence and fidelity are not related at all. Is that so? Some researchers have ventured to analyze it and see if there is any kind of link.
At just eleven years old, the British Cerys Cooksammy-Parnell has achieved a score of 162 points in a Mensa intelligence test, beating eminent scientists such as Albert Einstein or Stephen Hawking.
