  1. No.  A savant may be extremely proficient in one cognitive area because of a deficit in another area, but his brain's size will not tend to be skewed from the norm.


  2. No.

    "Savant-ism" is often due to autism, or sometimes, to brain injury.

    Or, it might be unrelated to anything at all; for example, there's a woman who can remember every single detail of every day of her life from the age of 8 onward-- but other than that, she's totally normal.
