Rushton, J.P. & Ankney, C.D. (2009) Whole Brain Size and General Mental Ability: A Review. The International Journal of Neuroscience, 119(5), 692-732. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2668913/

I did include Rushton in my research summary, IIRC, but it's probably a good idea to not cite him - Rushton is poison! An editor on Wikipedia tried to get me punished by the Arbcom for citing Rushton, even. (What saved me was being very very careful to not ever mention race in any form and specifically disclaim it.)
