Bringing together 20 studies involving 1,530 subjects (Pakistan Tribune, 23 vi 2007), Dr. Michael A. McDaniel of the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, U.S.A., concluded that the long-envisaged moderate correlation between brain volume and intelligence held firm in human adults - especially in women (for a sizeable part of the male brain is taken up by the male's greater spatial ability}.
[This finding had been reported in Science Daily in 2005 (18 vi) but never appeared in mainstream Western media. That it had to emerge as `news' via Pakistan two years later was a notable tribute to PC's tyrannical domination of the West's media - still evidently following the line of Marxite Stephen Jay Gould that there was no such brain-IQ relation.]
A thoughtful consideration of Williams Syndrome -- which is genetic, affects 1 child in 7,500, lowers brain volume by 15% and IQ to around 65, but is accompanied by merry gregariousness -- was provided at Blue Ridge Now, 8 vii.http://gfactor.blogspot.com/
