between subcortical brain volumes, genetic risk for schizophrenia: Proof - of - concept study provides roadmap for future research into possible associations between brain volume measures, known genetic risk factors.»
«Typically, an overproduction of axons and synapses can be found during early puberty, followed by rapid pruning during later puberty, indicating that connections and communication
between subcortical and cortical regions are in a highly transitional state during this period.»

«We did not find evidence of genetic overlap

They compared and analyzed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain images of 1,680 healthy individuals and 884 patients with schizophrenia from 11 research institutes participating in Cognitive Genetics Collaborative Research Organization (COCORO), and examined the differences
between schizophrenia and healthy controls in the

between the cortical and
subcortical brain regions in epileptic models.
For example, it is now known that
subcortical areas are more strongly functionally coupled with primary sensory, association, and paralimbic areas in children, whereas adults show stronger cortico - cortical functional connectivity
between paralimbic, limbic, and association areas (Supekar et al., 2009).
