Modelling the genetic structure
of a priori brain networks

Analysis steps:

Code and results are displayed in conjunction.

• Processing phenotypic data

• Genetic quality control

• Genome-wide association study for regional brain volumes

• Evaluate GWAS

• Processing genetic data

• Descriptive statistics for genetic and phenotypic networks

• Hypothesis 2 and 1: Comparison of genetic and phenotypic brain measures

• Hypothesis 3: Genetic correlation between general cognitive abilities and brain networks

• Genetic correlation between brain age and whole-brain shared morphology
