    Abstract In population neuroscience, three disciplines come together to advance our knowledge of factors that shape the human brain: neuroscience, genetics, and epidemiology (Paus, Human Brain Mapping 31:891-903, 2010). Here, I will come back to some of the background material reviewed in more detail in our previous book (Paus, Population Neuroscience, 2013), followed by a brief overview of current advances and challenges faced by this integrative approach.

    Abstract The neuron doctrine laid the foundation for our current thinking about the structural and functional organization of the human brain. With the basic units of the nervous system-neurons-being physically separate, their connectivity relies on the conduction of action potentials in axons and their transmission across the synaptic cleft to the dendrites of other neurons. This study reviews available ex vivo data about the cellular composition of the human cerebral cortex, focusing on axons and dendrites, to conceptualize biological sources of signals detected in vivo with magnetic resonance imaging. To bridge the gap between ex vivo and in vivo observations, I then explain the basic principles of virtual histology, an approach that integrates spatially cell- or process-specific transcriptomic data with magnetic resonance signals to facilitate their neurobiological interpretation. Finally, I provide an overview of the initial insights gained in this manner in studies of brain development and maturation, in both health and disease.

    Abstract Tangential growth of the human cerebral cortex is driven by cell proliferation during the first and second trimester of pregnancy. Fetal growth peaks in mid-gestation. Here, we explore how genes associated with fetal growth relate to cortical growth. We find that both maternal and fetal genetic variants associated with higher birthweight predict larger cortical surface area. The relative dominance of the maternal vs. fetal variants in these associations show striking variations across birth years (1943 to 1966). The birth-year patterns vary as a function of the epigenetic status near genes differentially methylated in individuals exposed (or not) to famine during the Dutch Winter of 1944/1945. Thus, it appears that the two sets of molecular processes contribute to early cortical development to a different degree in times of food scarcity or its abundance.

    Abstract We recently devised continuous "sex-scores" that sum up multiple quantitative traits, weighted by their respective sex-difference effect sizes, as an approach to estimating polyphenotypic "maleness/femaleness" within each binary sex. To identify the genetic architecture underlying these sex-scores, we conducted sex-specific genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in the UK Biobank cohort (females: n = 161,906; males: n = 141,980). As a control, we also conducted GWASs of sex-specific "sum-scores", simply aggregating the same traits, without weighting by sex differences. Among GWAS-identified genes, while sum-score genes were enriched for genes differentially expressed in the liver in both sexes, sex-score genes were enriched for genes differentially expressed in the cervix and across brain tissues, particularly for females. We then considered single nucleotide polymorphisms with significantly different effects (sdSNPs) between the sexes for sex-scores and sum-scores, mapping to male-dominant and female-dominant genes. Here, we identified brain-related enrichment for sex-scores, especially for male-dominant genes; these findings were present but weaker for sum-scores. Genetic correlation analyses of sex-biased diseases indicated that both sex-scores and sum-scores were associated with cardiometabolic, immune, and psychiatric disorders.

    Abstract This special issue summarizes an impressive body of work concerned with in vivo imaging of brain microstructure. Collectively, papers included here demonstrate the power of multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for mapping various structural properties of brain tissue. In this introduction, I provide a user's perspective vis-à-vis motivations for these efforts, review briefly the cellular composition of grey and white matter in the human brain, and provide a few examples of how we can bridge the gap between ex vivo and in vivo datasets to facilitate interpretation of studies measuring brain macro- and microstructure.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the relationship between blood glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and cerebral cortical thickness (CT) and identify potential cellular mechanisms involved.
    Research design and methods: A cohort of 30,579 adults age 45 to 81 (mean ± SD: 64 ± 7.5) years with available data on brain MRI and blood HbA1c levels was analyzed. The relationship between HbA1c and CT was probed using independent spatial profiles of cell-specific gene expression. Lastly, a genome-wide association study was conducted on the shared variance between HbA1c and CT.
    Results: The HbA1c-CT association was noncontinuous, emerging negatively within the prediabetic range (39.6 mmol/mol). This association was strongest in brain regions with higher expression of genes specific to excitatory neurons and lower expression of genes specific to astrocytes and microglia. A significant locus implicated mitochondrial maintenance and ATP generation.
    Conclusions: Effective glycemia control at prediabetic levels is warranted to preserve brain health and prevent prediabetes-related neurobiologic perturbations.
