Woman's College Basketball Special Player
I delved into Malaysia FulWiley profile with particular interest, especially after Coach Don Staley labeled her a "generational talent." Staley's credibility lent weight to the investigation, knowing her reputation for honest assessments. It's an annual ritual to uncover high school players whose rankings seem absurd, and FulWiley, ranked at number 13, triggered my skepticism. The same suspicion echoed in rankings like Diamond Miller at 17, Olivia Miles at number eight, and Tena Latson at 14. Another player from the 2024 class might also be underrated by ESPN, adding complexity to the evaluation.

IQ and Intelligence
As clinical neurology experts, we are here to dispel some common myths about the human brain. One of the most prevalent misconceptions is that we only use 10% of our brains. This is simply not true. In fact, the size of the brain does not necessarily determine intelligence. While some creatures may have larger brains than humans, their brains may not be as complex. Additionally, non-cognitive factors such as social and emotional intelligence also play a role in determining intelligence. IQ tests are not always an accurate measure of intelligence, as there are many different types of intelligence that cannot be measured by these tests. As neurology professionals, we encourage everyone to continue learning about the complexities of the human brain and to not believe in common myths. The transmission of information from your eyes to your body is processed in a way that makes sense. Additionally, if we examine the brain, we can identify different parts with specific functions. One such part is the brain stem, often referred to as the lizard brain, which controls basic functions like arousal levels, breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. It also houses certain motor functions. Another important part of the brain is the cerebellum, located at the bottom, which is involved in motor control and planning. While performing a task, multiple parts of the brain may be utilized, but not all at once. Contrary to the belief that video games deteriorate the brain, this is actually a myth. Research has shown that video games, especially those focused on teamwork, problem-solving, puzzle-solving, and strategic thinking, can be beneficial. They help develop and strengthen various areas of the brain, particularly in children. Video games are also used in surgical training to practice skills through simulators. The amount of time spent playing video games is subjective, as there is no defined limit. However, excessive withdrawal from social activities and a preference for gaming over other pursuits may indicate a problem. It is important to maintain a balanced approach and not let gaming negatively impact one's social life. Contrary to popular belief, memory does not necessarily decline with age. In fact, certain types of memory, such as semantic memory, can improve as one gets older.
