Also, whenever you want to find someone for help, there is always a certain friend there. Now scientists suggest that parts of the brain in those with a higher number of friends are larger than those with ___75____friends. Scientists have studied the connection between brain size and social interactions (互动) on monkeys. They found that parts of the brain in more sociable monkeys were larger. They were better ____76_____ predicting the intentions (意图) of other monkeys. As for humans, the researchers at McGill University, Canada, studied the differences between those with larger social groups, and those with smaller groups. The researchers studied 18 people. In order to ___77____ the size of each person’s social group, the people were asked how many social interactions they’d had in the past month. Then researchers looked at brain scans (扫描). They found that, just like monkeys, parts of the brain in humans with larger social groups were larger. Although long-term studies are needed to figure out _____78_____ social interaction caused these changes in the brain, scientists were sure about one thing: Some brain regions that are larger suggests other regions might be smaller, lead scientist Mary Ann Noonan said to LiveScience.
