Link Found Between Brain Metabolism and Fluid Intelligence

By measuring a metabolic activity marker using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, a new study in young adults has indicated that healthy brain metabolism corresponds with fluid intelligence, a measure of one’s ability to solve unusual or complex problems.  More...
