HUMAN INTELLIGENCE GENES IDENTIFIED IN DNA BRINGING US ONE STEP CLOSE TO COGNITIVE ENGINEERING


Human Intelligence Genes Identified in DNA Bringing us One Step Close to Cognitive Engineering

The researchers found that the genes are likely to be controllable all at once. They suggest this means they may be able to modify the genes to increase someone’s cognitive function, and it will also help with research to find new treatments for neurological diseases.

The genes are comprised of two gene clusters, known as M1 and M3. The researchers from Imperial College London found that they are responsible for features including memory, attention-span, processing speed and even reasoning.
