Expansion of cortical layers 2 and 3 in human left temporal cortex associates with verbal intelligence

2021-02-07

Abstract excerpt

The expansion of supragranular cortical layers is thought to have enabled evolutionary development of human cognition and language. However, whether increased volume of supragranular cortical layers can actually support greater cognitive and language abilities in humans has not been demonstrated. Here, we find that subjects with higher general and verbal intelligence test (VIQ) scores have selectively expanded lay...
