Cognitive Genes Discovery May Lead to Novel Neurological Disease Therapies

An international team of scientists, led by Todd Lencz, Ph.D., professor at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research at Northwell Health and Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine, say they have unlocked some of the genes responsible for cognitive ability.Dr. Lencz and fellow researchers studied the genes of 35,000 people and discovered new genetic variations related to cognitive ability. The findings bring scientists a step closer to developing new, and potential
