Lifetime brain atrophy estimated from a single MRI: measurement characteristics and genome-wide correlates

Anna Elisabeth Fürtjes, Isabelle Francesca Foote, Charley Xia, Gail Davies, Joanna E. Moodie, Adele M. Taylor, David C M Liewald, Paul H. Redmond, Janie Corley, Andrew Mark McIntosh, Heather Clare Whalley, Susana Muñoz Maniega, Maria del Carmen Valdés Hernández, Ellen V. Backhouse, Karen J. Ferguson, , Simon R. Cox

This paper evaluates methods to estimate lifetime brain atrophy from a single MRI scan and identifies genetic correlates, finding that the residual method best captures brain shrinkage and has strong heritability.

Joanna E. Moodie, Colin R. Buchanan, Anna Elisabeth Fürtjes, Eleanor L.S. Conole, Aleks Stolicyn, Janie Corley, Karen J. Ferguson, Maria del Carmen Valdés Hernández, Susana Muñoz Maniega, Tom C. Russ, Michelle Luciano A, Heather Clare Whalley, Mark E. Bastin, Joanna Marguerite Wardlaw, Ian J. Deary, Simon R. Cox

The paper identifies brain regions most related to general cognitive function and links them to neurobiological properties using meta-analysis and multimodal cortical maps.
