Genetic influences on brain morphology and IQ are well studied. A
variety of sophisticated brain-mapping approaches relating genetic
influences on brain structure and intelligence establishes a regional
distribution for this relationship that is consistent with behavioral
studies. We highlight those studies that illustrate the complex cortical
patterns associated with measures of cognitive ability. A measure
of cognitive ability, known as g, has been shown highly heritable
across many studies. We argue that these genetic links are partly
mediated by brain structure that is likewise under strong genetic
control. Other factors, such as the environment, obviously play a
role, but the predominant determinant appears to genetic.
