Journal ArticleDOI

The genetic architecture of the human cerebral cortex

Katrina L. Grasby, +359 more
- 20 Mar 2020 - 
TL;DR: Results support the radial unit hypothesis that different developmental mechanisms promote surface area expansion and increases in thickness and find evidence that brain structure is a key phenotype along the causal pathway that leads from genetic variation to differences in general cognitive function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel genetic loci associated with hippocampal volume

Derrek P. Hibar, +432 more
TL;DR: It is shown that genetic variants associated with decreased hippocampal volume are also associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (rg=−0.155), and these findings suggest novel biological pathways through which human genetic variation influences hippocampus volume and risk for neuropsychiatric illness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oxytocin pathway gene networks in the human brain

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors characterized the distribution of OXT, OXTR, and CD38 mRNA across the human brain by creating voxel-by-voxel volumetric expression maps, and identified putative gene pathway interactions by comparing gene expression patterns across 20,737 genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel genetic loci underlying human intracranial volume identified through genome-wide association

Hieab H.H. Adams, +435 more
- 01 Dec 2016 - 
TL;DR: Variants for intracranial volume were also related to childhood and adult cognitive function, and Parkinson's disease, and were enriched near genes involved in growth pathways, including PI3K-AKT signaling.
