Human Brain Project develops tool to see link between gene expression and brain microstructure

“Elucidating the way from genes to cognition requires detailed insight into how anatomical areas with specific gene activities contribute to brain function and dysfunction. Up to now, the scientific community has developed many separate brain atlases for different modalities and scales. Now, a team of researchers from the European Human Brain Project (HBP) has developed the JuBrain Gene Expression tool (JuGEx) that combines the benefits of a genetic and an anatomical atlas. Using JuGEx, the scientists found differentially expressed candidate genes for major depressive disorder in a disease-affected part of the brain.”
