How a Gene Mutation Causes Higher Intelligence

Recently, neurobiologists from Leipzig and Würzburg universities investigated that a gene mutation that causes blindness is also associated with increased verbal IQ and working memory. Thus far, it was unclear how the mutation affects synaptic function. Scientists used CRISPR/Cas9-assisted genomic engineering to insert patients’ mutations into the corresponding gene in […]
