Einstein, Glial Cells, Royal Jelly, and GDNF.

I came across some vague but, telling information about intelligence and how to maybe increase it through glial cell production:

As you all know in 1985 scientists at the University of California in Berkeley published anatomical studies of slivers of Einstein's brain after counting the different cells in the organ. They found the only difference between his brain and those of dead doctors was a greater ratio of glial cells to neurons.

"We know from animal studies that as you go from invertebrates to other animals and primates, as intelligence increases, so does the ratio of glial cells to neurons," said Professor Volterra, whose study appears in the journal Nature Neuroscience. This quotation begs the question, Does intelligence increase when the glial cell count increases or do the amount glial cells increase when intelligence is gained. This question is the basis for all physiological questions existing in the nootropics community, among others.

"These findings about Einstein's brain are intriguing, but alone they prove nothing -- they are observations not conclusions. "It remains a difficult task to provide a link between [astrocytes and] genius," says Colombo, from the anal…
