Albert Einstein's brain was smaller than average, but some parts had extremely dense neural networks. One theory suggests that the ability to establish new neural networks increases processing speed and efficiency and therefore intellectual skills. In other words, individual differences in _______________________ may be key.
A) brain size
B) neuroplasticity
C) the brain's production of serotonin
D) the occipital lobe's functioning
