Toward a “treadmill test” for cognition: Improved prediction of general cognitive ability from the task activated brain
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Human Brain Mapping"
DOI: 10.1002/hbm.25007
Abstract: General cognitive ability (GCA) refers to a trait‐like ability that contributes to performance across diverse cognitive tasks. Identifying brain‐based markers of GCA has been a longstanding goal of cognitive and clinical neuroscience. Recently, predictive modeling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jshs.2015.07.007
Abstract: Purpose To investigate whether athletes who engage in different modes of sports training correspondingly exhibit different patterns of performance on general cognition tasks. Methods Sixty participants were recruited into an endurance, motorically complex, or control… read more here.

Social Adversity Reduces Polygenic Score Expressivity for General Cognitive Ability, but Not Height

DOI: 10.1017/thg.2022.3
Abstract: Abstract It has been hypothesized that even ‘perfect’ polygenic scores (PGSs) composed of only causal variants may not be fully portable between different social groups owing to gene-by-environment interactions modifying the expression of relevant variants.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41398-020-01094-9
Abstract: Cognitive impairments are considered core features in schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Cognitive impairments are, to a lesser degree, also documented in healthy first-degree relatives. Although recent studies have shown (negative) genetic correlations between schizophrenia… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-68674-3
Abstract: Individuals exhibit massive variability in general cognitive skills that affect language processing. This variability is partly developmental. Here, we recruited a large sample of participants (N = 487), ranging from 9 to 90 years of age, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.1748
Abstract: Identifying the causes and fitness consequences of intraspecific variation in cognitive performance is fundamental to understand how cognition evolves. Selection may act on different cognitive traits separately or jointly as part of the general cognitive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2017.0289
Abstract: General cognitive ability can be highly heritable in some species, but at the same time, is very malleable. This apparent paradox could potentially be explained by gene–environment interactions and correlations that remain hidden due to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/desc.12706
Abstract: Abstract Sleep spindles are related to sleep‐dependent memory consolidation and general cognitive abilities. However, they undergo drastic maturational changes during adolescence. Here we used a longitudinal approach (across 7 years) to explore whether developmental changes… read more here.
