Abstract:
The present paper is a review of the studies on the correlation between general intelligence and several brain regions. A lot of empirical studies have found that general intelligence is closely related to such factors as the size of the brain and the activities in and function of prefrontal cortex, parietal cortex, gray mater and white matter. The efficiency of communication within brain regions, especially the frontoparietal network, is the key biological basis for general intelligence. This effect is more obvious on people with high intelligence. The future research in this field should involve longitudinal studies of brain and cognitive development with a large sample size and the standardization of the data collected by employing different neuroimaging technologies.
