Genome-wide association study identifies 74 loci associated with educational attainment

Aysu Okbay, +296 more
- 26 May 2016 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for educational attainment were reported, showing that single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with educational attainment disproportionately occur in genomic regions regulating gene expression in the fetal brain.

Genome-wide association analyses of risk tolerance and risky behaviors in over 1 million individuals identify hundreds of loci and shared genetic influences

Richard Karlsson Linnér, +115 more
- 14 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: This paper found evidence of substantial shared genetic influences across risk tolerance and the risky behaviors: 46 of the 99 general risk tolerance loci contain a lead SNP for at least one of their other GWAS, and general risk-tolerance is genetically correlated with a range of risky behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI

An automatic valuation system in the human brain: evidence from functional neuroimaging.

TL;DR: It is verified that brain regions encoding preferences can valuate various categories of objects and further test whether they still express preferences when attention is diverted to another task.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neural mechanisms underlying motivation of mental versus physical effort.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the interaction between a common motivational system and the different task-specific systems underpinning behavioral performance might occur within the basal ganglia.
