Smart People Really Do Think Faster
These images really give you a picture of the mental speed of the brain
They're also "the most beautiful images of the brain you could imagine
The smarter the person, the faster information zips around the brain
This colorful brain image is like a map of mental speed. The bright spaghetti structures represent the pathways connecting different brain cells.
DTI is a variant of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that can measure the structural integrity of the brain's white matter, which is made up of cells that carry nerve impulses from one part of the brain to another. The greater the structural integrity, the faster nerve impulses travel
Thompson says DTI scans of the 92 participants in the study revealed a clear link between brain speed and intelligence.
When you say someone is quick-thinking, it's genuinely true
The impulses are going faster and they are just more efficient at processing information, and then making a decision based on it
