IQ changes in teens as brain changes, study finds

A study in the journal Nature looked at IQ tests and MRI scans for 33 teens over four years and found fluctuations in their verbal and nonverbal IQ scores that were linked to changes in their brain structure. Researchers noted that verbal IQ changes correlated with changes in gray matter density and volume in a part of the left motor cortex, while nonverbal IQ changes were correlated with gray matter density in the anterior cerebellum
