Influence of NOS1 on verbal intelligence and working memory in both patients with schizophrenia and healthy control subjects.

29 Sep 2009 CONTEXT: Human and animal studies have implicated the gene NOS1 in both cognition and schizophrenia susceptibility. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether a potential schizophrenia risk single-nucleotide polymorphism (rs6490121) identified in a recent ... Read more...

Genetic influence on human intelligence (Spearman's g): how much?

30 Aug 2009 The history and conceptual background of the heritability statistic is briefly discussed. The construct of heritability is embedded in the method of structural equation modeling widely used in modern population genetics and in human behavior ... Read more...

Combining nonlinear biometric and psychometric models of cognitive abilities.

23 Jul 2009 It is well-established that genetic factors account for large proportions of individual differences in multiple cognitive abilities. It is also well-established that individual differences in performance on many different cognitive ability measures ... Read more...
