The Battle of Brains vs. Brawn - The New York Times.
Perhaps fitting for a question about the human brain — which packs in more than 100 billion neurons, according to the National Institutes of Health — but the answer is mired in complexities.
It's a painless test and can show whether it takes your brain longer than normal to receive messages. Lumbar puncture. A lumbar puncture is a procedure to remove a sample of your spinal fluid by inserting a needle into the lower back.
Their brains are a little bit bigger than a chimpanzee’s, but not hugely so, and it wasn't until long after the genus Homo evolved that brains actually started getting really, really large. So increases in brain size were not really an early event in human evolution, and in fact, they didn't occur until after hunting and after the invention of hunting and gathering, and not even until.
Male brains are of course about 10% larger than female brains. Notably, male brains contain about 6.5 times more gray matter than women. Female brains have more than 9.5 times as much white matter, The frontal area of the cortex and the temporal area of the cortex are more precisely organized in women, and are bigger in volume.
A classic example is the idea that the female brain has a larger corpus callosum (the section of the brain that connects the two hemispheres) and less lateralized brains than males.
Brawn GP was a Formula One constructor, created in 2009 by a management buyout of Honda Racing F1 Team led by Ross Brawn, after Honda announced their withdrawal from the sport in late 2008.The team only competed in the 2009 FIA Formula One World Championship, with drivers Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello. On its racing debut, the season-opening 2009 Australian Grand Prix, the team took.

Carr argues that the Internet is causing us to lose the ability to focus and read long texts, which in his opinion lessens our ability for deep thinking. I find Carr’s article a bit pessimistic and note that.
