 Reading The Big Book of Boy Stuff makes your brain bigger! It’s been proven!A recent university study found that people who learned how to juggle grew bigger brains! Even better, the part of their brains that is best at “thinking” was the part that grew! (This must explain why all jugglers are geniuses.) So if you follow the instructions in the “Juggling” chapter, your brain will be bigger and more powerful! Whoo-hoo! Want more details? A 2004 study by the University of Regensburg (in Germany) found that people who learned how to juggle showed enlarged areas in the cerebral cortex. This is the “thin sheet of nerve cells on the brain’s surface where most higher thought processes seem to be handled.” The brain’s “gray matter” was where the growth occurred. The gray matter is where all the brain’s neurons are . . . and that’s good! * Source: “Brains and Brawn, Once and the Same” by Nicholas Wade. The New York Times, January 25, 2004.
