The amygdala is a small but critical multi-nucleus structure for emotion, cognition, and
neuropsychiatric disorders. Although genetic associations with amygdala and subnucleus …

The amygdala is a crucial interconnecting structure in the brain that performs several
regulatory functions, yet its genetic architectures and involvement in brain disorders remain …

Background Whereas genetic variants influencing total amygdala volume have been
identified, the genetic architecture of its distinct nuclei has yet to be explored. We aimed to …

Psychiatric disorders as well as subcortical brain volumes are highly heritable. Large-scale
genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for these traits have been performed. We …

Background Subcortical structures such as the hippocampus, ventral diencephalon,
brainstem, putamen and amygdala are involved in complex brain functions such as memory …

The hippocampus is critical for memory and cognition and neuropsychiatric disorders, and
its sub elds differ in architecture and function. Genome-wide association studies on …

Several large imaging-genetics consortia aim to identify genetic variants influencing
subcortical brain volumes. We investigated the extent to which genetic variation accounts for …

Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders worldwide, yet its
neurobiological mechanisms remain poorly understood. Structural brain differences in …

The hippocampus is critical for memory and cognition and neuropsychiatric disorders, and
its subfields differ in cytoarchitecture, function and disease vulnerability. The genetic …

Family history of depression significantly impacts life-long depression risk. Family history
could impact the stress and emotion regulation system that involves the amygdala. This …
