Question
Does a big head necessarily mean you’re smart?
Answer
The size of the head is not directly related to intelligence. Studies have shown that intelligence may be related to the type of neural connections, that is, the connections between brain cells. During childhood and adolescence, neural connections grow and shrink, which may affect intelligence. Many factors can influence a child’s intelligence, including genetic genes. If the mother takes inappropriate medication during pregnancy, contracts rubella, or has an imbalanced diet, it can directly affect the child’s innate intelligence. After birth, the methods of education and the child’s individual efforts will also have a direct impact on intelligence.
