Deciphering the genetic architecture of human brain structure and function: a brief survey on recent advances of neuroimaging genomics

Xingzhong Zhao et al.

Summary: Brain imaging genomics is an interdisciplinary field that integrates multimodal medical imaging features and multi-omics data, aiming to bridge the gap between macroscopic brain phenotypes and their molecular characteristics. Recent advances in large-scale imaging and multi-omics datasets have allowed the identification of common genetic variants associated with brain structure and function. Integrative analysis with functional multi-omics data has revealed critical genes, genomic regions, and cell types associated with brain phenotypes. This review highlights the importance of functional genomic datasets in understanding the biological functions of identified genes and cell types, and discusses the challenges and future directions in this field.

Brain charts for the human lifespan

R. A. I. Bethlehem et al.

Summary: Neuroimaging has become a widely used tool in brain research, but there is currently a lack of reference standards to quantify individual differences over time. In this study, researchers created an open resource that benchmarks brain morphology using a large dataset of MRI scans. The brain charts identified neurodevelopmental milestones and showed high individual stability and robustness to technical and methodological differences.

Cortical structural differences in major depressive disorder correlate with cell type-specific transcriptional signatures

Jiao Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the correlation between cell type-specific gene expression changes and cortical structural differences in individuals with major depressive disorder. The expression of MDD-associated genes spatially correlates with morphometric differences, suggesting a link between molecular and structural changes relevant for MDD. Analysis of cell type-specific signature genes indicates that microglia and neuronal specific transcriptional changes play a significant role in the observed correlation with MDD-specific morphometric differences.

The old guard: Age-related changes in microglia and their consequences

Jessica Costa et al.

Summary: The brain is highly susceptible to aging effects, particularly in relation to microglia dysfunction. Microglia acquire an age-related immunosenescent phenotype, leading to compromised immune responses and synaptic activity, contributing to cognitive decline and neurodegeneration associated with aging. Lifestyle and environmental factors play a role in driving microglia dysfunction at molecular and functional levels, suggesting potential interventions for reversing aging-related damage to the nervous system and immune system.
