1. Is a big brain

better than a small brain?

Yes- human brains are bigger than most other mammals, studies have shown that famous people who were especially brilliant (e.g. Einstein) had heavier brains than the norm.

2. Can you grow your

brain?

Yes- your 100 billion active nerve cells (neurons) can grow up to 20 000 branches on each and every one! New learning means new connections between them!
