Psychotherapy Commission ACPEThe article reports that general intelligence arises from coordinated interaction across the entire brain rather than a single region. By integrating diffusion-weighted MRI and resting-state fMRI to model the connectome, the study shows that global network patterns predict cognitive ability and reflect an efficient, small-world architecture.
This is of interest to psychology because it supports a network-based view of intelligence, emphasizing distributed processes and the brain’s global topology as key to cognitive performance. The findings highlight how features like weak long-range connections, modal control, and small-world organization relate to intelligent behavior.
