In this review, we discuss recent work by the ENIGMA Consortium (http://enigma.ini.usc.edu
) – a global alliance of over 500 scientists spread across 200 institutions in 35 countries …

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 , …

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

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

As a result of the combination of great linguistic and cultural diversity, the highland populations
of Daghestan present an excellent opportunity to test the hypothesis of language–gene …

Genetic isolates are exceptional resources for the detection of susceptibility genes for
complex diseases because of the potential reduction in genetic and clinical heterogeneity. …

Genetic isolates, which provide outstanding opportunities for identification of susceptibility
genes for complex diseases, can be classified as primary (having an ancient demographic …

Isolated populations are valuable resources for mapping disease genes, as inbreeding
increases genome-wide homozygosity and enhances the ability to map disease alleles on a …

Methods: A cross-population genetic epidemiology design was applied in ethnically and
demographically diverse isolates from Dagestan, some with more than 200 and some with less …

Subcortical brain structures are integral to motion, consciousness, emotions, and learning.
