A common myth is that the brain wrinkles as more knowledge is obtained. But actually, a fetus around 40 weeks has as many wrinkles in their brain as we do. What does happen is the synapses (the connections between neurons) and the blood cells that support neurons grow and increase in number. So you are correct.

What I find truly amazing is that the brain undergoes physical changes in responose to a placebo.
