  • This reprinted chapter originally appeared in Enriching the brain: How to maximize every learner's potential, Eric Jensen, San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, 2006. What makes a brain gifted? You cannot have functional or behavioral differences (such as being smarter) without some kind of corresponding difference in the brain from a more typical brain. On the whole, brain differences fall into four distinct categories. They are morphology, operations, real estate, and electro-chemical cellular functions, or M-O-R-E as a way to remember them easily. The first category--morphology--refers to the shape, size, and boundaries of structures within the brain. The second category--operations--refers to neural efficiency and speed of internal connectivity in the brain. The third category--real estate--refers to strategic differences in which or how brain areas are used. The fourth category--electro-chemical cellular function--refers to differences in electrical and chemical activity. What's going on inside gifted children? No single profile can be drawn that describes all the gifted. But they do share some strong common tendencies. Conversations with teachers and parents of gifted children as well as with authors and consultants in this area revealed four personality traits or qualities that are most consistent with giftedness: perfectionism, creativity, sensitivity, and intensity. Many books have been written about the gifted learner. One is Susan Winebrenner's Teaching gifted kids in the regular classrooms. In this book she notes the following characteristics: coping mechanisms, discipline, disabilities, and sociability. The chapter concludes with an argument for gifted education.
