Here is why I'm asking: The picture is of Magnus Carlsen - #1 chess player. His crease got increasingly more pronounced as he played more chess. (or aged)
http://imgur.com/jd9aPDj - Only pronounced on one side.
Why am I asking this question?
I feel considerably smarter these days, then 2 years ago. At the same time, I've also noticed, one side of my face, is developing 'the crease.' I am also using my brain a lot more and a lot more effectively.
For me, the crease is on the left side of my cheek. I was thinking - I do use my left - brain - logic and analysis - considerably more than my right side - maybe that's why the crease is more pronounced. Maybe, something about using your brain alot, causes this crease on the cheek.
Maybe ... it's like a sharigan. https://dailyanimeart.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/sasuke-sharingan.jpg?w=584&h=328
Once you use your brain to a certain extent, you get the crease.

Left brain/right brain is a myth right?

Stress can cause this or just age.

They are nasojugal grooves, a term often used synonymously with the name 'tear trough'. However this is a contentious point amongst the medical community. I highly recommend you read this fascinating paper upon the subject: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18047604.

Uh yea, they're called wrinkles. Get used to having them because it will happen someday... hopefully. The alternative is worse!

Almost. I'm pretty good at using search engines.

The idea of left/right-brained people and of one brain half controlling logic and the other creativity is an exaggeration bordering on being nothing more than a myth. It does not work like that.

Real, but entirely inconsistent and varied from person to person, and certainly not with actions divided cleanly between one side or another (in a general sense, possibly for certain individuals).

I thought it was just biological/genetics? My parents has them and I have some deep ones:
+ Show Spoiler [myface] +
Definitely comes with age and just how your face is shaped I feel, stress as well as mentioned here.

^^^ look at this handsome nerd!
op that crease is because the guy in the pic is a massive cokehead. The one sided crease is when he gave his other side a break for a week. Trust me, it's science
|
Is this thread for real?
On topic: i want a crease
|
i saw serial killers with one; like that R. Ramirez dude who died in 2013 or around that time. so yea, just turn yourselves in already.

Thank god. With only 10% capacity at any given time, our brains couldn't handle that type of demarcation.

Studies on lateralization have not shown clear specialization or modularity according to hemisphere; however, functions are inconsistently lateralized (see language production between left-handed and right-handed subjects). So...hush.

I don't believe people "get smarter or dumber" anyway. It's just age.

People definitely do get smarter or dumber just as they get stronger or weaker physically.

Depends on what you mean by "smarter", but to me it's like saying they change skin color with age. It's easy to appear smarter or dumber though, depending on what you experience and how often you use your brain.

The brain retains a certain amount of plasticity throughout its existence. Intelligence can be changed with experiences, although there seems to be no activity that improves all the aspects that compose intelligence.

For everything that matters (like, your job, science, litterature, art, games, like, anything) it's probably negligible compared to experience. So I would try getting good at the things I want to do rather than play that kind of smartphone brain exercises for old people :D. In any case, my personal experience is that while I'm not especially becoming smarter, I'm definitely expecting some wrinkles sometimes soon.

Targeted practice trumps mere experience, and there's only so much that covers as well (experts are embarrassingly bad at discerning trends that don't fix internal heuristic models).
Brain exercises only make you more proficient at the exercise itself.

i dont believe this kind of things

Learning and problem solving are skills that take practice. People don't "get dumber" but we can get "set in your ways" and if we've been that way from let's say 30-60, if we are faced with new problems, they will be harder for us to solve.
The "falling off" we see with age has a lot of factors, but a big one is how specialized we have become in their thinking. The more specialized, the harder it is for us to deal with new/different challenges.
Our brain's are like any other part of our body. If we can make it through the day not using it, eventually it won't show up for work (think pancreas). Routines basically let you make it through the day without really engaging lots of your brain. It's nice to make certain parts of you day habit, but for good brain health, it's important to vary things up from time to time.

I was under the impression that nearly all theorys involving fixed plasticitity had been routed in the last few years?
I had been under the impression they had done 2 - 5 and 10 year studies that had show dynamic synaptic pathing and neuron density increases, and that it is being used on a fairly wide scale to work with age related mental decline and alzheimers.
Last I heard, using specific cross synpatic firing training as outlined in Howard Garderns, "Multiple Intelligences" has been used in young children suffering from autism to minimize impairment.
Everything I had read/learned in the last few years has lead me to believe that with diligent work and a methodigcal approach, any human can become, more or less - brilliant.
