This study investigates how much an individual's genes and environment account for the wide variation in brain structure and function. Using brain imaging we examine in what way the connectivity of the brain of identical and non-identical twins is the same or different from that of their co-twin, and carry out analysis of their DNA to identify some of the genes involved. This will provide fundamental information on genetic mechanisms influencing variation in brain structure and function.

这项研究调查了一个人的基因和环境在多大程度上解释了大脑结构和功能的广泛差异。使用大脑成像，我们检查同卵和异卵双胞胎的大脑连接方式与他们同卵双胞胎的相同或不同之处，并对他们的DNA进行分析，以识别一些相关基因。这将为影响大脑结构和功能变异的遗传机制提供基本信息。
