They didn't say who the Americans were in the test. Were they a mixed group of second generation ethnicities or were they all the old established northern Europeans who have been around for a long time? I am wondering how long it takes for transplanted people's brains to become more like those around them.,

Brain development is a complex interaction between genes and the environment, and culture is part of the environment.
