Genetic variability of human brain size and cortical gyral patterns.

Brain : a journal of neurology - 1 Feb 1997

Bartley A J, Jones D W, Weinberger D R

Abstract excerpt

The development of the primate brain is determined by an interaction of genetic programmes and environmental events. We examined quantitatively the contribution of each of these factors to adult human brain hemisphere volume and global cortical gyral patterns by comparing 3-D MRI renderings of brains of 10 pairs of monozygotic (MZ) and nine pairs of same-sex dizygotic (DZ) twins. Brain volume was highly...
