This study examines how bilingualism affects reading development by altering structural interhemispheric connectivity, finding it partially mediates reading outcomes through the anterior corpus callosum, independent of genetic risk factors.

NEUROLINGUA provides a database of MRI data from multilingual individuals to study how sociolinguistic factors shape language comprehension networks.

The paper uses imaging genetics to analyze functional connectivity in language networks, identifying genetic loci linked to language abilities, dyslexia, and handedness.

This study identifies 67 genetic loci associated with head size, finding strong overlaps with cancer pathways and genes, suggesting shared genetic mechanisms between head growth and cancer risk.

This study investigates the genetic architecture of cerebellar lobules using UK Biobank data, revealing regional heritability and associations with psychiatric disorders and cognitive traits.

The paper examines the structural brain correlates of reading abilities and finds genetic influences on brain-reading associations, highlighting left hemisphere cortical measures as partially genetically driven.

The paper performs a multivariate GWAS on resting-state functional connectivity in language-related brain regions, identifying 20 genomic loci associated with language functional connectivity.

The paper associates left-handedness with structural brain asymmetries in specific cortical regions using data from 31,864 individuals and identifies genetic links to these asymmetries.

The paper identifies 21 genetic loci associated with brain asymmetry using UK Biobank data and links them to microtubule-related genes and psychiatric traits.

The paper analyzes brain asymmetry in three population datasets, finding associations with handedness, cognitive functions, and a genetic correlation with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

The paper investigates the genetic basis of situs inversus totalis (SIT) in 15 individuals, finding no clear monogenic links and suggesting complex genetic or environmental factors.

The paper investigates genetic factors influencing planum temporale asymmetry and finds limited genetic links to neurodevelopmental disorders, intelligence, or educational attainment.

The paper identifies genetic associations with cortical surface area using PCA and GWAS, linking DAAM1 to visual cortex development through mitochondrial pathways and thalamocortical input.

This study examines early life factors influencing left-handedness using UK Biobank data, finding weak heritability and significant effects of birthweight, season of birth, and other factors, but limited predictive power overall.
