It would be wonderful if we understood what biological process determines the size of the brain. There are thousands of genes that each affect IQ ever so slightly but if we zoom out and look "macro" biology, then the size of the brain does correlate reasonably well with IQ and it is likely to be influenced by relatively few genes.

This is probably the first route we will find towards increasing the intelligence of children.
