A general dimension of genetic sharing across diverse cognitive traits inferred from molecular data
It has been known since 1904 that, in humans, diverse cognitive traits are positively
intercorrelated. This forms the basis for the general factor of intelligence (g). Here, we …

A combined analysis of genetically correlated traits identifies 187 loci and a role for neurogenesis and myelination in intelligence
Intelligence, or general cognitive function, is phenotypically and genetically correlated with
many traits, including a wide range of physical, and mental health variables. Education is …

Genetics and intelligence differences: five special findings
Intelligence is a core construct in differential psychology and behavioural genetics, and
should be so in cognitive neuroscience. It is one of the best predictors of important life …

Genetic variation, brain, and intelligence differences
Individual differences in human intelligence, as assessed using cognitive test scores, have a
well-replicated, hierarchical phenotypic covariance structure. They are substantially stable …

Most reported genetic associations with general intelligence are probably false positives
General intelligence (g) and virtually all other behavioral traits are heritable. Associations
between g and specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in several candidate genes …

A genome-wide scan of 1842 DNA markers for allelic associations with general cognitive ability: a five-stage design using DNA pooling and extreme selected groups
All measures of cognitive processes correlate moderately at the phenotypic level and
correlate substantially at the genetic level. General cognitive ability (g) refers to what diverse …
