The Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium is a
collaborative network of researchers working together on a range of large-scale studies that …

The highly complex structure of the human brain is strongly shaped by genetic influences 1 .
Subcortical brain regions form circuits with cortical areas to coordinate movement 2 , …

Identifying genetic variants influencing human brain structures may reveal new biological
mechanisms underlying cognition and neuropsychiatric illness. The volume of the …

The pattern of structural brain alterations associated with major depressive disorder (MDD)
remains unresolved. This is in part due to small sample sizes of neuroimaging studies …

The neuro-anatomical substrates of major depressive disorder (MDD) are still not well
understood, despite many neuroimaging studies over the past few decades. Here we present the …

INTRODUCTION The cerebral cortex underlies our complex cognitive capabilities.
Variations in human cortical surface area and thickness are associated with neurological, …

Falling asleep is paralleled by a loss of conscious awareness and reduced capacity to
process external stimuli. Little is known on sleep-associated changes of spontaneously …

The hippocampal formation is a brain structure integrally involved in episodic memory, spatial
navigation, cognition and stress responsiveness. Structural abnormalities in hippocampal …

Intracranial volume reflects the maximally attained brain size during development, and remains
stable with loss of tissue in late life. It is highly heritable, but the underlying genes remain …

Subcortical brain structures are integral to motion, consciousness, emotions and learning.
We identified common genetic variation related to the volumes of the nucleus accumbens, …
