la mollera
fontanel
The word "mollera" in Spanish refers to the soft spot on a baby's skull, also known as the fontanelle in English. It is the area where the skull bones have not yet fused, allowing for growth of the baby's brain and skull. Over time, the "mollera" hardens as the bones fuse together.
Additionally, in some Spanish-speaking regions, "mollera" can be used colloquially to refer to a person's head or brain, sometimes implying someone's thinking or intelligence.
