We used a case–control genome-wide association (GWA) design with cases consisting of
1238 individuals from the top 0.0003 (~ 170 mean IQ) of the population distribution of …

Although individual differences in intelligence (general cognitive ability) are highly heritable,
molecular genetic analyses to date have had limited success in identifying specific loci …

General intelligence is an important human quantitative trait that accounts for much of the
variation in diverse cognitive abilities. Individual differences in intelligence are strongly …

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 …

Intelligence—the ability to learn, reason and solve problems—is at the forefront of
behavioural genetic research. Intelligence is highly heritable and predicts important …

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to identify common genetic variants that
are associated with human intelligence or general cognitive ability. METHOD: We performed …

Intelligence is associated with important economic and health-related life outcomes 1.
Despite intelligence having substantial heritability 2 (0.54) and a confirmed polygenic …

Pedigree-based analyses of intelligence have reported that genetic differences account for
50–80% of the phenotypic variation. For personality traits these effects are smaller, with 34 …

High intelligence (general cognitive ability) is fundamental to the human capital that drives
societies in the information age. Understanding the origins of this intellectual capital is …

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 …
