Not exactly – there does seem to be a correlation between the size of certain areas of the brain and intelligence but not necessarily overall brain volume.

Studies have shown that by studying certain thinks you can increase the size of the related parts of the brain. For example, London taxi drivers who learn complicated routes have been shown to have enlarged hippocampus areas
