Heritability of brain volume change and its relation to intelligence
2014
NeuroImage
An association between IQ (available for 91 participants) and brain volume change was observed, which was attributed to genes involved in both the variation in change in brain volume and in intelligence ...
We address the question whether longitudinal changes in brain volume or in surface area in young adults are under genetic control and whether these changes are also related to general cognitive functioning ...
Moreover, brain volume changes in the young adult brain are positively related to intelligence and this association is mediated through genes common to both intelligence and brain volume change. ...

The evolution of human intelligence and the coefficient of additive genetic variance in human brain size
2007
Intelligence
However, adult human intelligence remains highly heritable, and is genetically correlated with brain size. ...
This result is hard to reconcile with most current theories of human mental evolution, which emphasize directional (more-is-better) selection for higher intelligence and larger brains. ...

Genetic variation, brain, and intelligence differences
2021
Molecular Psychiatry
We summarise regional brain imaging associations with intelligence and interpret these with respect to theoretical accounts. ...
Here, we summarise and critique the last 10 years or so of molecular genetic (DNA-based) research on intelligence, including the discovery of genetic loci associated with intelligence, DNA-based heritability ...
Having larger volumes of brain (and tissues therein) appears to be relatively strongly related to having greater numbers of neurons [107] . ...

The obese brain as a heritable phenotype: a combined morphometry and twin study
2016
International Journal of Obesity
Background-Body weight and adiposity are heritable traits. To date it remains unknown whether obesity-associated brain structural alterations are under a similar level of genetic control. ...
Twin data were analyzed by applying the additive genetic, common environmental and residual effects (ACE) model to determine heritability of brain regions that were associated with BMI. ...
It is possible that at least some regional brain volume differences reflect central endophenotypes leading to unhealthy eating and excess adiposity. ...

Genes contributing to subcortical volumes and intellectual ability implicate the thalamus
2013
Human Brain Mapping
It has been shown that brain volume and general intellectual ability are to a significant extent influenced by the same genetic factors. ...
This genetic factor is also implicated in cerebral brain volume. The thalamus, with its widespread cortical connections, may thus play a key role in human intelligence. ...
INTRODUCTION Understanding the relative influences of genes and environment on differences in human brain structure is of key importance for understanding the dynamics of brain devel-opment and its relation ...
