A Polygenic Score for Higher Educational Attainment is Associated with Larger Brains

Maxwell L. Elliott, Daniel W. Belsky, Kevin M. Anderson, David L. Corcoran, Tian Ge, Annchen R. Knodt, Joseph A. Prinz, Karen Sugden, Benjamin S. Williams, David R. Ireland, Richie Poulton, Avshalom Caspi, Avram J. Holmes, Terrie E. Moffitt, Ahmad R. Hariri

The paper finds that a polygenic score for educational attainment is associated with larger brain size and better cognitive test performance, suggesting a genetic link between brain size and intelligence.
