A mother’s genetics determines how clever her chil

A mother’s genetics determines how clever her children are, according to researchers, and the father makes no difference.
Women are more likely to transmit intelligence genes to their children because they are carried on the X chromosome and women have two of these, while men only have one.

Despite taking into account several factors, from the participants education to their socio-economic status and beyond, the team still found the best predictor of intelligence was the IQ of the mother. #study #research #dad #iq #intelligence didyouknow factsdaily facts motheranddaughtertime momanddaughter momofthree girlmom boymom science

Breaking news: a series of studies reported in New

Breaking news: a series of studies reported in New Scientist asserts that parenting “may permanently improve brain health for Mum and Dad”. In one of the studies, mothers with more children showed patterns associated with younger brains too and another of nearly 38,000 people found “mothers and fathers have younger-looking brains”. Raising kids really does keep you young then! #research #study #fyp #dads #moms Research studies brain health longevity

Did you know that research shows that children born to older mothers tend to show the most cognitive ability when in previous generations they typically showed less promise?
Older mothers of children (Elder Millenials and Millenials) are now more likely to be better educated and wealthier than the older Baby Boomers and Gen X mothers and these advantages have a positive effect on children’s cognitive development 🙌. Children born to older mothers tend to show the most cognitive ability nowadays, when in previous generations they typically showed less promise.
More details: mature mothers of children born at the turn of the new millennium are more likely to be better educated and wealthier than the older mothers of the Baby Boomers and Generation X before them. These advantages appear to have a positive effect on children’s cognitive development.
Researchers from the London School of Economics, Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and University of Helsinki analysed information on more than 30,000 British people from three generations, born in 1958, 1970 and 2000-01. After grouping mothers by the ages at which they gave birth, the researchers analysed the results of cognitive assessments taken by their children when they were 10/11 years old. Children born in 2000-01 to mothers who gave birth in their late thirties scored the highest across all age groups in cognitive assessments. #research #facts #annehathaway #pregnancy #viral facts facts on facts explore page relatable over 40 moms mom life parenting father study
