A key translational issue for neuroscience is to understand how genes affect individual
differences in brain function. Although it is reasonable to suppose that genetic effects on …

A large gap exists between behavior genetics and cognitive neuroscience, although
psychologists feature prominently in both fields. Behavior genetics focuses on individual …

To identify common variants contributing to normal variation in two specific domains of
cognitive functioning, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of executive …

Only a few common variants in the sequence of the genome have been shown to impact
cognitive traits. Here we demonstrate that polygenic scores of educational attainment predict …

Genetic contributions to phenotypic variation in general intelligence have been studied
extensively. Less research has been conducted on genetic contributions to specific cognitive …

Abstract Between 40% and 80% of the variability in test intelligence among adults in modern
societies is accounted for by genetic factors. Therefore there must be" genes for intelligence" …

We hypothesize that mild mental impairment (MMI) represents the low extreme of the same
quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that operate throughout the distribution of intelligence. To detect …

General cognitive ability (g), which refers to what cognitive abilities have in common, is an
important target for molecular genetic research because multivariate quantitative genetic …

General cognitive ability (g), often referred to as 'general intelligence', predicts social
outcomes such as educational and occupational levels far better than any other behavioural …

There is an error in the final sentence of the Results. The correct sentence is: Fig 3B shows
that the heritability of education increases with increasing deprivation (ie decreasing SES) …
