The research suggests a connection between social interactions and brain structure.“We're interested in how your brain is able to allow you to find the right way in complex social environments,” MaryAnn Noonan said,a neuroscientist (神经学家) at Oxford University.Studies in monkeys have shown that brain areas involved in face processing and in predicting the intentions of others are larger in animals living in large social groups than in ones living in smaller groups.
79.According to Noonan,the certain brain areas whose functions are to _________ are larger in more-sociable monkeys.
79.process faces and predict the intentions of others

79.根据努南（Noonan）的观点,某些脑部区域的功能是加工（或处理）脸部并预测别人的意图,这种区域在一些好交际（more-sociable）的猴子身上比较大.

大概意思：那项研究表明,社交行为和脑部组织结构有一定关联.……对猴子的研究已经表明,涉及到加工脸部和预测别人的意图的脑部区域,在大群体里生活的动物身上要比小群体里生活的动物身上要大.
关键点就是：比起在小群体里生活的动物来,在大群体里生活动物具有的加工脸部和预测别人的意图的脑部区域要大得多.
