'This book is a tribute to its topic. It is intelligently assembled, spanning all aspects of intelligence research and its applications. The authors are distinguished experts, masterfully summarising the latest knowledge about intelligence obtained with cutting-edge methodology. If one wants to learn about intelligence, this is the book to read.' Yulia Kovas, Professor of Genetics and Psychology, Goldsmiths University of London

This handbook introduces the reader to the thought-provoking research on the neural foundations of human intelligence. Written for undergraduate or graduate students, practitioners, and researchers in psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and related fields, the chapters summarize research emerging from the rapidly developing neuroscience literature on human intelligence. The volume focusses on theoretical innovation and recent advances in the measurement, modelling, and characterization of the neurobiology of intelligence differences, especially from brain imaging studies. It summarizes fundamental issues in the characterization and measurement of general intelligence, and surveys multidisciplinary research consortia and large-scale data repositories for the study of general intelligence. A systematic review of neuroimaging methods for studying intelligence is provided, including structural and diffusion-weighted MRI techniques, functional MRI methods, and spectroscopic imaging of metabolic markers of intelligence.
