Heritability of brain volume, surface area and shape: An MRI study in an extended pedigree of baboons

16 Apr 2007

Abstract excerpt

To evaluate baboons (Papio hamadryas) as a primate model for the study of the genetic control of brain size and internal structure, we performed high resolution (<500 microm) magnetic resonance imaging on 109 pedigreed baboons. Quantitative genetic analysis of these MR images using a variance components approach indicates that native (untransformed) brain volume exhibits significant heritability among these...
