Visualizing Genetic Influences on Human Brain Functions
, in this issue of Cell, integrate genetics and functional brain imaging by showing that variation in the human brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene is associated with variation in episodic memory ability and in hippocampal neurochemistry and function.
متن کاملMapping genetic influences on human brain structure.
Recent advances in brain imaging and genetics have empowered the mapping of genetic and environmental influences on the human brain. These techniques shed light on the 'nature/nurture' debate, revealing how genes determine individual differences in intelligence quotient (IQ) or risk for disease. They visualize which aspects of brain structure and function are heritable, and to what degree, link...
متن کاملVisualizing culture-gene influences on brain function
Introduction The nature and scope of cultural diversity in human behavior is breathtakingly unparalleled throughout the animal kingdom. With the exception of a few primitive cultural traits shared with nonhuman primate societies (Tomasello et al., 2005; Whiten et al., 2007), humans demonstrate a rare level of cultural competence, which has subsequently led to the expansion of and control over t...
متن کاملGenetic Influences on Cortical Regionalization in the Human Brain
Animal data demonstrate that the development of distinct cortical areas is influenced by genes that exhibit highly regionalized expression patterns. In this paper, we show genetic patterning of cortical surface area derived from MRI data from 406 adult human twins. We mapped genetic correlations of areal expansion between selected seed regions and all other cortical locations, with the selectio...
متن کاملGenetic influences on dynamic complexity of brain oscillations.
Human electroencephalogram (EEG) consists of complex aperiodic oscillations that are assumed to indicate underlying neural dynamics such as the number and degree of independence of oscillating neuronal networks. EEG complexity can be estimated using measures derived from nonlinear dynamic systems theory. Variations in such measures have been shown to be associated with normal individual differe...
