Summary

The brain’s remarkable inter-individual structural variability provides a wealth of information that is readily accessible via structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI). sMRI enables various structural properties of the brain to be captured on a macroscale level – one that is quickly moving towards submillimeter resolution (Budde, Shajan, Scheffler, & Pohmann, 2014; Stucht et al., 2015). This constitutes a remarkable leap forward from historically crude brain measures, such as head circumference measurements, aimed at understanding the neurobiology of intelligence differences.
