Intelligence tests predict brain response to demanding task events

A functional imaging study relates general intelligence to brain systems involved in cognitive control. In prefrontal cortex and selected regions elsewhere that are known to be activated during cognitive conflict, intelligence test score predicts the response to a challenging task.
