Neuroanatomical differences in the memory systems of intellectual giftedness and typical development
Abstract Introduction Studying neuro‐structural markers of intellectual giftedness (IG) will inform scientific understanding of the processes helping children excel academically. Methods Structural and diffusion‐weighted MRI was used to compare regional brain shape and connectivity of 12 children wi...
