Metabolic Gating and the Evolution of Human Cognitive Plasticity: A Comparative Genomic Analysis

2026-06-16

Abstract excerpt

The genetic basis of extreme cognitive plasticity—and its paradoxical overlap with severe neuropsychiatric conditions like schizophrenia—remains one of human evolution’s greatest mysteries. We hypothesized that this shared genomic architecture does not represent a collection of broken genes, but rather a high-performance cognitive engine governed by strict metabolic constraints. By integrating population-level dat...
