It turns out, there’s a relationship between having bigger heads and more functional brains. On average, a newborn’s head measures about 35 cm and anything above that is considered “big.” Seeing that your baby has a larger head than others their age might bother new parents at first. There’s no need to worry unless your pediatrician tells you to. A study has found that these babies tend to be super-intelligent as they grow up, when compared to others.
This study intrigued us at ViralSection and we would like to elaborate on it more for our readers.
Infants with bigger heads have increased brain activity.
The research conducted at Edinburgh University collected data from more than half a million people. They ranged from 37 to 73 years old. The participants underwent a series of mental and physical tests, revealing details about their lifestyle.
After analyzing the data, the research found that people who had bigger heads as infants had increased brain activity. It also added that these babies are intelligent and more likely to get a university degree.
They can read and understand things well.
Linking the connection between genes, health, and intelligence, a study published in the journal of Molecular Psychiatry found 17 more important facts related to head circumference. But, they’ve announced that they have not been able to fully discuss and study them yet. However, there’s certainly a connection between having bigger heads and intelligence. These people can read better and understand things easily.
They have a higher number of neurons.
Another study claims that people who are born with big heads have more neurons in their brains. An increased number of neurons makes them sharper and better than the rest when it comes to problem-solving. It’s just that people with larger heads have the potential to use their mental abilities to the max. Either way, what matters the most is how you make use of what you have!
