How many braincells does the average human have?

Question

I mean I'm assuming smart people have more, right? Or maybe not, I dunno. I don't tend to think about brains very often. Anyway, the average human, how many brain cells?

Answer 1

On average, the brain has 100 billion neurons. but these only make up about 10% of the brain, the remaining are supporting or glial cells. i dont think smart people have more neurons as such, but rather their synapses or neural connections or pathways are more developed and they have more synapses formed than less intelligent people, because every time a person acquires a new piece of information, it is stored in their brain in the form of synapses, which get more developed as u acquire more information.
