When a friend shares a setback, most people respond with a setback of their own — and when they've just succeeded, they go quiet — psychologists tested why across nine studies, and it wasn't self-image
People often adjust what they share about their achievements based on what a conversation partner just revealed. Recent research suggests these choices are driven by an intention to protect the other…

Neuron Count Doesn't Predict IQ — Brain Wiring Might scienceblog.com/t-neocortica...
Scientists have long known that larger brains tend to contain more biological machinery, and brain size shows a modest correlation with intelligence. But when researchers actually counted neurons in the post-mortem brains of 50 men, they found something surprising: the number of neurons in the neocortex had virtually no relationship with IQ. Intelligence, it seems, may depend far more on how the brain is wired than simply how many neurons it contains.
A rare post-mortem study found almost no relationship between IQ and total neocortical neuron count, shifting attention from quantity toward cellular and network organization.
