Intracranial volume reflects the maximally attained brain size during development, and
remains stable with loss of tissue in late life. It is highly heritable, but the underlying genes …

During aging, intracranial volume remains unchanged and represents maximally attained
brain size, while various interacting biological phenomena lead to brain volume loss …

Volumetric variations of the human brain are heritable and are associated with many brain-
related complex traits. Here we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 101 …

The phenotypic correlation between human intelligence and brain volume (BV) is
considerable (r≈ 0.40), and has been shown to be due to shared genetic factors. To further …

To identify genetic variants associated with head circumference in infancy, we performed a
meta-analysis of seven genome-wide association studies (GWAS)(N= 10,768 individuals of …

Cortical thickness, surface area and volumes vary with age and cognitive function, and in
neurological and psychiatric diseases. Here we report heritability, genetic correlations and …

Our understanding of the genetics of the human cerebral cortex is limited both in terms of the
diversity and the anatomical granularity of brain structural phenotypes. Here we conducted a …

Brain size variation over primate evolution and human development is associated with shifts
in the proportions of different brain regions. Individual brain size can vary almost twofold …

Brain genetics is an active research area. The degree to which genetic variants impact
variations in brain structure and function remains largely unknown. We examined the …

The highly complex structure of the human brain is strongly shaped by genetic influences.
Subcortical brain regions form circuits with cortical areas to coordinate movement, learning …
