Yeah, mainly social problems in the brain.

I recall reading something about connections between neurons not getting pruned as much as normal. And also that there are more short-range connections and fewer long-range connections (compared to normal). I don't know if the number of neurons is increased, though.

ABCnews.com has a story:

I'm actually making another thread to discuss this on....

Most people have a shortage, which allows for pointless discussions about sports, without being embarassed. We are working on a Cure.

We're also working on a cure for pointless social meandering and inefficient political demagougery, also caused by a lack of neurons.
