Brain Areas Where Activity Differed by Gene Type

Caption

This shows areas in the prefrontal cortex (right) and hippocampus (left) where activity differed in healthy control subjects during thinking tasks, depending on whether they had the risk version of the KCNH2 potassium channel gene. The image is made from functional magnetic resonance imaging data superimposed on 3-D MRI reconstruction of the brain.
