However, there was no overall correlation between any of the quantitative measurements of brain morphology and aggressive behavior, consistent with previous studies [ 28, 34] showing that there is no simple relationship between aggressive behavior and brain structure.
Given that the auditory phenotype is strikingly homogenous across the group and the genetic defect is well characterized, WS offers a rare opportunity to study the relationship between genes, behavior, brain morphology and function.
Apart from genomic polymorphisms, these inbred strains also exhibit strain-specific differences in behavior, body shape, brain morphology, and susceptibility to mutagens (Ishikawa et al. 1999; Kimura et al. 2007).
Those hypothesis are further supported by neuroimaging research, which provides an accurate way to measure the relationship between behaviors or symptoms and underlying brain morphology and brain functioning.
Based on prior studies showing gender differences in aggressive behavior as well as cortical development, we also expected gender-related differences in the association between brain morphology and aggression.
Underlying them, Eagleman explains, are changes in brain morphology and chemistry.
A growing number of studies have investigated relationships between brain morphology and inter-individual differences.
To investigate brain morphology and function in patients with glycogen storage disease type I (GSDI).
Notably, gross brain morphology and brain mass (Fig 1E) and body mass (Supporting Information Fig S1) were normal in Hdac6 −/− mice.
Therefore, further studies on brain morphology and brain metabolism are essential to elucidate the (neuro physiological basis of fatigue.
