Colin Buchanan (Gibbon) presents the largest-ever meta-analysis of nearly 10,000 healthy adult brains to robustly map the relationship between structural brain connectomes and general cognitive function.

Jo Moodie (@JoannMoodie) has been looking at spatial correlations between fundamental profiles of cortical organisation (incl gene expression components and neurotransmitter receptor densities) and regions of the cortex associated with general cognitive functioning. Poster 54.

Come and chat with the The Lothian Birth Cohorts researchers at #OHBM2023 about their new work. Two posters in the session NOW, one in the next session! See 🧵
