Found the gene responsible for intellect

Previous studies have confirmed a link between genetics and wisdom but no evidence has been found.A new work published in Molecular Psychiatry, specifically shows for the first time what genetic factors influence the depth of thinking.

Russia's Rbc site said scientists have studied the link between intelligence and DNA of more than 3,500 people living in Edinburgh, Aberdin, Newcastle and Manchester, UK and concluded 40% to 50% of identity The intelligence of intelligence is inherited.

To explain this, scientists studied over half a million genetic markers in each volunteer. They used the new analytical method proposed by Australian colleagues in Brisbane under the direction of Professor Peter Visher.

According to Professor Neil Peddleton, Manchester University, the project leader, by this method, they discovered which genetic names are responsible for the intellectuals of other characteristics in humans.

Professor Peddleton said: 'Our research has demonstrated that the number of genes that affect intelligence is very large, as well as other characteristics of the human body such as height, due to a large number of test genes. control.

The results helped us better understand how these genes interact, respond to external factors, and their role in intellectual formation. In the coming time, we will try to find out if there is a biological mechanism that maintains our intellectual ability until it is old without degradation. '
