BRAINS ON FIRE, RAINFOREST MINDS, ZEBRAS
Gifted brains are hyperconnected, they perceive the world in a richer and more complex way. All of this implies much more than an IQ higher than 135.
“The first thing you notice when you look at the fMRIs of gifted groups is that it looks like a ‘brain on fire.’ Bright red blazes of high metabolic activity burst out all over the scan.”
“…the coordination of diverse visual, spatial, verbal, and sensory areas of brain.”

“Like the rain forest, are you sometimes intense, multilayered, colorful, creative, overwhelming, highly sensitive, complex, and/or idealistic?”

“Zebras, that different animal, that equid that humans have not been able to domesticate.”
“Like our fingerprints, each zebra stripes are unique.”

“This brain has greater interconnectivity and efficiency and consumes less energy, indicating that it allows greater multisensory uptake, better memory (capacity and efficiency) and greater organizational capacity, performs more extensive associations, has greater potential for convergent and divergent thought and requires fewer repetitions.”
