Abstract

Connecting the dots on white matter The white matter of the brain, which is composed of axonal tracts connecting different brain regions, plays key roles in both normal brain function and a variety of neurological disorders. Zhao et al. combined detailed magnetic resonance imaging–based assessment of brain structures with genetic data on nearly 44,000 individuals (see the Perspective by Filley). On the basis of this comprehensive analysis, the authors identified structural and genetic abnormalities associated with neurological and psychiatric disorders, as well as some nondisease traits, thus creating a valuable resource and providing some insights into the underlying neurobiology.
