The genetics of g in human and mouse

Nat Rev Neurosci. 2001 Feb;2(2):136-41. doi: 10.1038/35053584.

Abstract

The g factor refers to the substantial overlap that exists between individual differences in diverse cognitive processes in humans. In this article, I argue that a mouse model of g could provide a powerful analytic tool for exploring cognitive processes that are linked functionally by genes.
