"Rising Trend: Human Brains Are Getting Larger and Its Impact on Health"

A team of scientists led by the University of California Davis Health found that human brains have been increasing in size over the years, with 1970s babies having nearly 15 percent more brain surface area and 6.6 percent more brain volume than those born in the 1930s. This increase in brain size may be linked to improved brain development and health, potentially serving as a buffer against age-related brain diseases like Alzheimer's and related dementias.
