4 Prefrontal Cortex P4 Cingulate Gyrus Caudate/Thalamus Superior Longitudinal Fasciculus Figure E-1: The proposed Intelligence network involving: 1) the dorsolateral frontal subcortical circuit (DL-FSC) comprising the caudate nucleus, thalamus, and BAs 9 & 10 in the prefrontal cortex, 2) the anterior cingulate frontal subcortical circuit (AC-FSC) comprising the caudate nucleus, thalamus, and BA 24 of the cingulate gyrus, and 3) superior longitudinal fasciculus linking posterior to frontal cortices. Figure E-2: The Parieto-Frontal Integration Theory (P-FIT) of intelligence. Schematic diagram of regions in which brain measures were related to individual differences on measures of intelligence and reasoning in HNV. Cingulum Bundle Superior longitudinal Fasciculus Figure E-4. DTI image co-registered to sMRI image showing the superior longitudinal fasciculus and cingulum bundle Figure E-3: Scatterplot of the relationship between intellectual functioning (Full Scale IQ) and NAA in SP and HNV. Note the direct relationship between NAA within frontal white matter (dashed line) and IQ in SP, while no such relationship exists in HNV. Solid line and blue dots represents occipital NAA-IQ relationships; dashed line and white dots = frontal NAA-IQ relationships. 70 80 90 10 0 11 0 12 0 910 11.0 12.0 13 0 Schizophrenic Patients 90 100 110 120 9.510.5 11 12.5 130 WASI Full Scale IQ Normal Volunteers Figure E-3 COBRE
