The scans focussed on over-all brain surface area, determined partly from the depth of the folds on the cortex, and the size of the hippocampus, a lumpy, curled structure nestled in the middle of the brain that stores memories.
The scans focused on identifying neurological signatures of the convicts' impulsiveness, since it is known that poor impulse control lies at the root of many types of crime.
The complementary eQTL scans focused on the identified tissue-consistent regions have allowed us to identify some powerful candidate genes and target regions to be responsible for these pleiotropic effects, as the PBX1 transcription factor and a transcription regulatory element close to ELOVL6 gene.
Over the next several hours, the men not only had their blood drawn to gauge their metabolic response to the meals; they also assessed their perceived degree of hunger, and underwent a scan focusing on several nodes of their brain's reward circuitry in a functional Magnetic Resonance Imager.
Another genome scan focusing on multiply affected families found the strongest evidence for linkage on chromosome 12q [ 12].
Scanning focused on the three regiments, however, scanned pages that contained soldiers from other regiments (n = 90) were included in analysis.
Finally, a targeted eQTL scan focused on regions showing tissue-consistent effects was conducted with Longissimus and fat gene expression data.
According to the previous linkage results, an eQTL scan focused on chromosomal regions showing tissue-consistent effects on FA was conducted with Longissimus dorsi gene expression data, one of the tissues with fatty acid composition data.
To create the virtual moon landscape setting, the creators called upon NASA's open source library of 3D scans, focusing in particular on the Copernicus Crater (above).
There is some preliminary published research into methods to enable geometrically accurate reconstruction of OCT data from freehand scanning, mostly focusing on the artifacts caused by the variation in lateral scanning speed.
