Before revision: [doi:10.1038/nrn2793] The theory General intelligence requires specific brain regions and incorporates: Sensory processing, primarily in the visual and auditory modalities, including specific temporal and parietal areas Sensory abstracting and elaboration by the parietal cortex (especially the supramarginal, superior parietal, and angular gyri) Interaction between the parietal cortex and frontal lobes for hypothesis testing available solutions Response selection and inhibition of competing responses by the anterior cingulate This theory proposes that greater general intelligence in individuals results from the greater efficiency of communication between the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, parietal lobe, anterior cingulate cortex, and specific temporal and parietal cortex regions.
