Visualizing Genetic Influences on Human Brain Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
, 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.

Visualization of variations in human brain morphology using differentiating reflection functions
Conventional visualization media such as MRI prints and computer screens are inherently two dimensional, making them incapable of displaying true 3D volume data sets. By applying only transparency or intensity projection, and ignoring lightmatter interaction, results will likely fail to give optimal results. Little research has been done on using reflectance functions to visually separate the v...
متن کاملA systematic review of the complex organization of human cognitive domains and their heritability.
BACKGROUND Models of cognition propose a hierarchical structure for human cognitive processes, in which the sequences of human action are organized into parts or subunits of analysis that can be grouped into progressively more complex, inclusive higher-order functions. This organizational structure from partial to whole may be reflected in the neural representations that underlie human behaviou...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental influences on the size of specific brain regions in midlife: The VETSA MRI study
The impact of genetic and environmental factors on human brain structure is of great importance for understanding normative cognitive and brain aging as well as neuropsychiatric disorders. However, most studies of genetic and environmental influences on human brain structure have either focused on global measures or have had samples that were too small for reliable estimates. Using the classica...
متن کاملContinuous inflation analysis: a threshold-free method to estimate genetic overlap and boost power in imaging genetics
Methods to quantify genetic overlap may elucidate relationships between disparate traits, and provide Bayesian priors to guide the search for genetic influences on brain measures. Here we describe a threshold-free method called continuous inflation analysis (CIA), which we used to compare genomewide association statistics (GWAS) for the volumes of eight brain regions, computed from brain MRI. O...

Introduction: The exposure of human brain to electromagnetic waves can show adverse effects on brain functions. Electromagnetic waves effects on adult and child head have been investigated and compared In the present study. Methods and Materials: A simple spherical model consisted of six layers is considered to simulate the behavior of human brain. HFSS (High Frequency Structure Simulator) ha...
