(SCIENCE ALERT) – The way that a young child’s brain hums along at rest could predict their active intelligence later in life.
Researchers in the United States and Germany have followed up on a past study in Romania to show, for the first time, how a kid’s upbringing might influence their brain power years down the road.
The famous study, called the Bucharest Early Intervention Project (BEIP), began in the early 2000s and tracked the cognitive development of abandoned children in Romania.
