Imaging Genetics

Imaging genetics is a scientific approach that studies how differences in our genes influence the structure and function of the brain, as seen through imaging techniques like MRI. By combining genetic data with brain scans, researchers can identify how specific genetic variations affect brain development, behavior, and risk for mental health conditions. This integrated approach helps us understand the biological basis of mental health and neurological disorders, potentially leading to personalized treatments based on an individual's genetic and brain profile.
