Cognitive performance is typically conceptualized in terms of domains of functioning. These
domains are hierarchical in nature, with the bottom referring to more basic sensory and …

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

We conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment (EA) in a
sample of~ 3 million individuals and identify 3,952 approximately uncorrelated genome …

Here we conducted a large-scale genetic association analysis of educational attainment in a
sample of approximately 1.1 million individuals and identify 1,271 independent genome …

Intelligence is highly heritable and a major determinant of human health and well-being.
Recent genome-wide meta-analyses have identified 24 genomic loci linked to variation in …

General cognitive function is a prominent and relatively stable human trait that is associated
with many important life outcomes. We combine cognitive and genetic data from the …

Polygenic indexes (PGIs) are DNA-based predictors. Their value for research in many
scientific disciplines is growing rapidly. As a resource for researchers, we used a consistent …

For more than 50 years, psychologists, gerontologists, and, more recently, neuroscientists
have considered the possibility of successful aging. How to define successful aging remains …

Schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) are severe mental disorders associated with
cognitive impairment, which is considered a major determinant of functional outcome …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) provide biological insights into disease onset
and progression and have potential to produce clinically useful biomarkers. A growing body …
