English term or phrase: little grey cells
Greetings,

I'm looking for the Persian for ‘little grey cells’, but not necessary the literal translation.

The term is used here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercule_Poirot

This rather vain detective, in order to refer to his own brain power, talks of the ‘little grey cells’.

What’s more, I think I heard something similar on an Iran TV serial, and it sounded like ‘سلولهای بنیادی مغز’ (selulhā-ye bonyādi-e maġz, literally ‘brain stem cells’, perhaps).

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon
