Divergent connectomic organization delineates genetic evolutionary traits in the human brain
Abstract The relationship between human brain connectomics and genetic evolutionary traits remains elusive due to the inherent challenges in combining complex associations within cerebral tissue. In this study, insights are provided about the relationship between connectomics, gene expression and di...
