Now that the human genome has been sequenced there exists the possibility of identifying
specific genes that affect human cognition. In this article, recent studies that have found …

result in a cognitive abnormality (predominantly mental retardation) and of the genetic …

There is overwhelming evidence for the existence of substantial genetic influences on
individual differences in general and specific cognitive abilities, especially in adults. The …

In the 'generalist genes' hypothesis, it is suggested that the same genes affect most cognitive
abilities and disabilities. This recently proposed hypothesis is based on considerable …

Evolution of the prefrontal cortex was an essential precursor to civilization. During the past
decade, it became increasingly obvious that human prefrontal function is under substantial …

The important contribution of genetic factors to the development of cognition and intelligence
is widely acknowledged, but identification of these genes has proven to be difficult. Given a …
