Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a currently incurable neurodegenerative disorder. Several genetic studies have identified a rare variant of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) as a risk factor for AD. TREM2 is thought to trigger the

Research has consistently found sex differences in mental rotation. Twin research has suggested that females with male co-twins perform better than females with female co-twins on mental rotation. Because twins share both pre-natal and post-natal env

BACKGROUND: The number line task assesses the ability to estimate numerical magnitudes. People vary greatly in this ability and this variability has been previously associated with mathematical skills. However, the sources of individual differences i

Highlights • Parental input–child language correlations are ambiguous with respect to cause. • Measures of parental language input style show substantial genetic influence. • Shared genes between parents and children explain some of the obser

Basic intellectual abilities of quantity and numerosity estimation have been detected across animal species. Such abilities are referred to as ‘number sense’. For human species, individual differences in number sense are detectable early in life,
