Editing Human intelligence (section)

=== Genetic engineering ===
{{See also|Human genetic enhancement|Neurogenetics}}
Because intelligence appears to be at least partly dependent on brain structure and the genes shaping brain development, it has been proposed that [[genetic engineering]] could be used to enhance intelligence, a process sometimes called [[biological uplift]] in [[science fiction]]. Genetic enhancement experiments on mice have demonstrated superior ability in learning and memory in various behavioral tasks.<ref name="pmid10485705">{{Cite journal |last1=Tang|first1= Y.P.|last2=Shimizu|first2=E.|last3=Dube|first3=G.R.|display-authors=etal |title=Genetic enhancement of learning and memory in mice |journal=Nature |volume=401 |issue=6748 |pages=63–69 |year=1999 |pmid= 10485705 |doi=10.1038/43432|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/232778813|bibcode = 1999Natur.401...63T |s2cid=481884 }}</ref>
