Have you ever wondered why some people are more smarter than the others? Your intelligence depends on how well the interconnected networks of your brain function.
The difference in the intelligence of individuals go hand in hand with differences in the patterns of integration among functional modules of the brain, says a new finding.
The brain is functionally organised into modules or multiple networks that are more strongly interconnected among themselves, while having weaker connections with other modules at the same time.
The study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, noted that in some people, the prefrontal cortex region – located in the front part of the brain and responsible for cognitive qualities like thinking skills, analytical processing and decision making – is more evolved and works more efficiently than the rest of the brain.
