Besides volume and surface area, the geometry of our brain and the complex shapes that its regions take are linked to its functioning – and, probably, its dysfunction – concludes a study published in the journal Science Advance. Researchers identified 80 genetic sequences that are strongly linked to the structure of our brain.
“ Half of human genes are probably involved in brain development and function", reveals Kaustubh Patil, a specialist in machine learning and computer science applied to neuroscience at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf (Germany), who led this work.
