Imaging genetics for neurosciences
Made possible by a PIA grant, the Brainomics project was established to study associations between neuroimaging, genetics, and cognitive data. The aim of this project is to unveil such relationships using advanced data science tools as well as the knowledge and expertise stemming from our interdisciplinary members, most of whom are currently based in CEA Neurospin University Paris-Saclay.
The asymmetry of the superior temporal sulcus (STS) has been identified as a species-specific feature of the human brain. The so-called superior temporal asymmetrical pit (STAP) area is observed from the last trimester of gestation onwards and is far less pronounced in the chimpanzee brain....
Structural MRI is combined with genetic data while using prior knowledge of interactions between genes. A Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA) approach endowed with graph regularization is used...
