They looked for associations between 20
facial characteristics measured from 3D images of 3,118 healthy individuals with European ancestry and almost one million single base pair variations called SNPs, located across the genome.
The research group of Professor Ryusuke Kakigi of the National Institute for Physiological Sciences, National Institutes of Natural Sciences, in collaboration with Professor Masami K. Yamaguchi and Assistant Professor Hiroko Ichikawa of Chuo University first identified the
characteristics of
facial expression recognition of children with ADHD by
measuring hemodynamic response in the brain and showed the possibility that the neural basis for the recognition of
facial expression is different from that of typically developing children.
