Study links genes with function across the human brain

A new study, that utilized machine learning tools, provides a new map that links genetic signatures to functions across the human brain! Interestingly, they found a clear genetic signal that separated cognitive processes, like attention, from more affective processes, like fear. This separation can be traced to gene expression in specific cell types and molecular pathways, offering key insights for future research into psychiatric disorders. Cognition, for example, was linked more to the g...
