Objective: Human cognition has long been known to be under substantial genetic control.
With the complete mapping of the human genome, genome-wide association studies for …

Abstract Purpose of Review We review recent progress in uncovering the complex genetic
architecture of cognition, arising primarily from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) …

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

The molecular characterization of single-gene disorders or chromosomal abnormalities that
result in a cognitive abnormality (predominantly mental retardation) and of the genetic …

Following the decade (or two) of the brain, a new effort is underway to integrate insights
about the biology of mental function that have been gained at parallel levels of description …

Elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying quantitative neurocognitive phenotypes
will further our understanding of the brain's structural and functional architecture and …

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

Genetics and neuropsychology have historically been 2 rather distant and unrelated fields.
With the very rapid advances that have been taking place in genetics, research and …

Cognitive deficits are core to the disability associated with many psychiatric disorders. Both
variation in cognition and psychiatric risk show substantial heritability, with overlapping …

The last decade has seen the development of large‐scale genetics studies which have
advanced our understanding of the genetic architecture of many complex heritable traits. In …
