My guess is that "smarter" people have trained their brain's neural network to identify patterns with less "watts". Likely, the total power consumption of a brain is more or less stable, due to heating/cooling considerations, so less connections (but more efficient ones) lets them have more compute power.
- Nomentatus 8y agoAgreed. I'd say, a big part of what makes smarter people smarter is encountering more varied problems and environmental conditions that allow more kinds of pruning in more areas. Wild horses are far smarter than domestic ones, for example. Your comment fits with my citation of a cavity-IQ correlation, here.
