Researchers have identified genes associated with people’s general cognitive function – how we process information. The study found significant small signals from four genetic regions that were associated with having stronger thinking skills.
The study, published in Molecular Psychiatry, was conducted under the auspices of the CHARGE (Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genetic Epidemiology) Consortium. It analysed data from 54,000 people aged more than 45 years old who had taken part in 31 cohort studies including CHeBA’s Sydney Memory & Ageing Study and the Older Australian Twins Study.
