Inter-Regional Variations in Gene Expression and Age-Related Cortical Thinning in the Adolescent Brain
15 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
Age-related decreases in cortical thickness observed during adolescence may be related to fluctuations in sex and stress hormones. We examine this possibility by relating inter-regional variations in age-related cortical thinning (data from the Saguenay Youth Study) to inter-regional variations in expression levels of relevant genes (data from the Allen Human Brain Atlas); we focus on genes coding for...
