My understanding of intelligence ("the ability to take two unrelated facts, and produce a third idea or theory as a result of cogitation")is that synaptic interconnectedness is everything.

And therefore more intelligence! <abbr><em>Steve on hypnosis’s last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/neurolife/~3/446503014/">Your Astrocytes To The Rescue!</a></abbr></em> Size is not everything – hypnosis can increase your IQ!

Sometimes I cant wait to find out what future discoveries have in store for us. It’s amazing how many things we don’t know about our brains.

I just love learning about the brain and how it works. All the power comes from the brain that's what my father always told me. I have overcome a lot of obstacles in my life because I had a strong mindset. I just recently started my own blog about <a href="http://www.binauralbeatsguide.com/">Binaural beats</a> I hope it becomes as successful as your blog.

My guess is that meditation does more than many are willing to concede.

These are just conservative guesses as to how much the brain changes with regular meditation. As neuroimaging techniques improve, so will our grasp of the neuroanatomical changes that take place with meditation. I agree Rachel.

I think that meditation causes me to activate a different area of my brain than I normal do. And therefore it only makes sense that it would improve brain horsepower. <em>Reiki's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/StartReiki/~3/275442131/'>Information About Reiki Therapy</a></em> I think that b/c the brain is such an unknown organ, who even knows if the effectiveness of meditation are listed as more conservative than we even know.
