=== Neuroscience of giftedness === Since the late 90s, the development of the brain of people with high IQ scores has been shown to be different to that of people with average IQ scores. A longitudinal study over 6 years has shown that high-IQ children have a thinner [[cerebral cortex]] when young, which then grows quickly and becomes significantly thicker than the other children's by the time they become teenagers.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Shaw |first=P. |title=Intellectual ability and cortical development in children and adolescents. |journal=Nature |volume=400|issue=7084 |pages=676β79|date=March 2006 |bibcode=2006Natur.440..676S |doi=10.1038/nature04513 |pmid=16572172 |s2cid=3079565 |url=https://zenodo.org/record/1233291 }}</ref>
