It's less of a physical change in the brain and more how we use it, but it seems like people are able to comprehend abstract concepts more readily due to increased communication/global consciousness. We're not getting more in-depth with our thinking, but we are able to at least humour things that either indirectly affect our lives or don't affect us personally at all.
