Neuroimagem, Psicometria e Inteligência

Estudo [1] aponta para as conexões entre diferentes partes do cérebro como sendo o fator mais importante para a inteligência geral (fator G). Publicado em 22 de fevereiro de 2010, este estudo parece estar de acordo com a teoria da integração parieto-frontal (P-FIT), que identifica a rede do cérebro relacionada ao fator G como envolvendo principalmente os lobos frontais e parietais.
