Human intelligence and brain networks Colom R; Karama S; Jung RE; Haier RJDialogues Clin Neurosci 2010[]; 12 (4): 489-501Intelligence can be defined as a general mental ability for reasoning, problem solving, and learning. Because of its general nature, intelligence integrates cognitive functions such as perception, attention, memory, language, or planning. On the basis of this definition, intelligence can be reliably measured by standardized tests with obtained scores predicting several broad social outcomes such as educational achievement, job performance, health, and longevity. A detailed understanding of the brain mechanisms underlying this general mental ability could provide significant individual and societal benefits. Structural and functional neuroimaging studies have generally supported a frontoparietal network relevant for intelligence. This same network has also been found to underlie cognitive functions related to perception, short-term memory storage, and language. The distributed nature of this network and its involvement in a wide range of cognitive functions fits well with the integrative nature of intelligence. A new key phase of research is beginning to investigate how functional networks relate to structural networks, with emphasis on how distributed brain areas communicate with each other.|Brain Mapping[MESH]|Brain/*anatomy & histology/*physiology[MESH]|Diagnostic Imaging[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Intelligence/*physiology[MESH]|Mental Processes/*physiology[MESH]|Neural Pathways/anatomy & histology/*physiology[MESH] |
