A Somatosensory Latency between the Thalamus and Cortex also Correlates with Level of Intelligence.

Reed, T. Edward; Jensen, Arthur R.

Intelligence, v17 n4 p443-50 Oct-Dec 1993

Results for sensory thalamocortical latency (3 somatosensory evoked potentials) for 205 college students agree with data that correlate a more extensive visual evoked potential latency with intelligence quotient. Findings suggest that the correlation occurs because the latency indexes cortical nerve conduction velocity. (SLD)
