Patterns of brain asymmetry associated with polygenic risks for autism and schizophrenia implicate language and executive functions but not brain masculinization

Z. Sha, D. Schijven, et al.

This study by Zhiqiang Sha, Dick Schijven, and Clyde Francks explores the intriguing links between polygenic risk scores for autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia with brain asymmetries in over 32,000 UK Biobank participants. The findings reveal unique brain asymmetry patterns tied to each disorder, highlighting the roles of language and executive functions.
