The genetics of spatiotemporal variation in cortical thickness in youth

Prior studies have shown strong genetic effects on cortical thickness (CT), structural covariance, and neurodevelopmental trajectories in childhood and adolescence. However, the importance of genetic factors on the induction of spatiotemporal variation during neurodevelopment remains poorly understo...

description Prior studies have shown strong genetic effects on cortical thickness (CT), structural covariance, and neurodevelopmental trajectories in childhood and adolescence. However, the importance of genetic factors on the induction of spatiotemporal variation during neurodevelopment remains poorly understood. Here, we explore the genetics of maturational coupling by examining 308 MRI-derived regional CT measures in a longitudinal sample of 677 twins and family members. We find dynamic inter-regional genetic covariation in youth, with the emergence of regional subnetworks in late childhood and early adolescence. Three critical neurodevelopmental epochs in genetically-mediated maturational coupling were identified, with dramatic network strengthening near eleven years of age. These changes are associated with statistically-significant (empirical p-value
