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)serotonin reuptake
B)brain plasticity
C)the brain's production of serotonin
D)the occipital lobe's functioning
E)the brain's production of glutmate

Brain plasticity, or neuroplasticity, refers to the brain's ability to form and reorganize synaptic connections, especially in response to learning or experience or following injury. This characteristic is crucial for establishing new neural networks, which can enhance processing speed, efficiency, and intellectual abilities.
