What Makes Someone a Genius?

The blog: http://www.thebioneer.com Instagram:   / thebioneer   Facebook:   / thebioneer   Twitter:   / thebioneer   This post discusses the nature of intelligence and the different aspects of neuroscience that help explain it. One view of intelligence is that it should be considered in a modular fashion: in terms of different 'types' of intelligence for different skills. In other words, no one person is more or less intelligent, they are just more capable in a specific domain. Howard Gardner described a number of different 'types' of intelligence including: viso-spatial, logical, linguistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal etc. While I'm not a big fan of this description, there is evidence for a modular nature of intelligence. The structure of the brain backs this concept up, as do studies looking at suppressing different areas etc. That said, what also correlates with high intelligence is 'whole brain connectivity' and the sheer density of cortical grey matter. In this video, I attempt to resolve these different views and suggest that intelligence may in fact come down to plasticity + opportunity.
