Genome-wide association studies have demonstrated significant links between human brain
structure and common DNA variants. Similar studies with rodents have been challenging …

Methods have been developed to allow quantitative connectivity of the whole fixed mouse
brain by means of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We have translated what we have …

Connectome genetics attempts to discover how genetic factors affect brain connectivity.
Here we review a variety of genetic analysis methods—such as genome-wide association …

Genetic and environmental factors influence brain structure and function profoundly. The
search for heritable anatomical features and their influencing genes would be accelerated …

An organizational pattern seen in the brain, termed structural covariance, is the statistical
association of pairs of brain regions in their anatomical properties. These associations …

Individual variation in structural brain network topology has been associated with heritable
behavioral phenotypes such as intelligence and schizophrenia, making it a candidate …

The way in which brain structures express different morphologies is not fully understood.
Here we investigate variability in brain anatomy using ex vivo MRI of three common …

Twin studies provide one approach for investigating and partitioning genetic and
environmental contributions to phenotypic variability in human brain structure. Previous twin …

The cerebral cortex may be organized into anatomical genetic modules, communities of
brain regions with shared genetic influences via pleiotropy. Such modules could represent …

The integration of modern neuroimaging methods with genetically informative designs and
data can shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying the structural and functional …
