30 July 2015 - inferior frontal gyrus

In your brain, you have an inferior frontal gyrus which is involved in processing various kinds of abstract information. The name says it all—it’s inferior. Average it out with the superior frontal gyrus and you get only a middle frontal gyrus.

Remember the bad old days of the frontal lobotomy? They overdid it a little. If we only get rid of the inferior parts of the brain, you’ll end up smarter!
