      It is complex, but the brain is stimulated to grow far more by the cacophony of the natural world than it is by the bare, low bitrate information we get from the world most inside people live through.

      The modern world caters to consciousness, which can process about 120 bits of information a second. The natural world caters to the body’s sensory complex, which takes in a billion bits a second, and when you count all the information created by first-order processing, it’s closer to 11 billion bits a second.

      A nervous system grows as a direct reaction to stimulus. More stimulus means more growth.

            But your still speaking out of your ass. Cause your brain grow thing is total …

              Lol wait wait wait, are y’all calling the fact that the nervous system grows as a direct response to stimulus, and neurons seek out new information sources to process, “talking out my ass”?!🤣🤣🤣

              Look, don’t come asking for discussions on things you have less than a middle school education on. If you’re genuinely interested, you’ll have to learn the most basic of basic information yourself before we can talk about anything bigger.

                JFC…Albert Einstein’s brain was studied intensely, they found nothing different for any other brain. This is anal verbage.

                  Was that before or after we had the technology to map the human connectome and even the barest understanding of what all those connections could possibly amount to in a neural network?

                  Keep the responses coming though, it’s like watching the kid who eats crayons gloat about their special brain that gets them in special classes, calling people dumb because they “talk stupid”.

                  Edit: I’m sorry, I’m still dying over here at you trying to point out a postmortem brain examination from the decade before we decided to stop giving lobotomies and electroshock to cure mental problems, to bolster your opinion. So since you like images, I found you an image that shows scientists looking at Einstein’s brain nearly a century ago and concluding “it look like brain”
