The study by Paul et al. (2022), published in Brain, investigates the effects of the CORD7 mutation on synaptic transmission and its connection to cognitive abilities. This mutation, linked to increased verbal IQ and enhanced working memory, alters the RIMS1/RIM1 protein at presynaptic active zones. The research offers new insights …
The study by Kaminski et al. (2018) investigates the intricate relationships between genetic, epigenetic, and neurobiological factors that contribute to variability in general intelligence (gIQ). By focusing on dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene modification, gray matter density, and striatal functional activation, the research sheds light on the complex interplay influencing …
