Morphometric Analysis of Neocortical and Infratentorial Structures: Genetic and Environmental Insights from a Twin Neuroanatomical Study.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objective: Brain morphometry is shaped by a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors, including physiological and neuropsychiatric conditions. These influences can vary across distinct brain regions, yet the precise contributions of genetics and environment to regional variation in healthy brains remain poorly understood. This study examines the heritability of specific brain structures to provide deeper insights into their development. Materials and Methods: We studied 118 healthy adult twins from the Hungarian Twin Registry using T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T1W MRI) and the volBrain pipeline for structural measurements. Results: In all regions, monozygotic (MZ) twins showed a higher resemblance than dizygotic (DZ) twins in tot
