Translational Meta-analytical Methods to Localize the Regulatory Patterns of Neurological Disorders in the Human Brain

The task of mapping neurological disorders in the human brain must be informed by multiple measurements of an individual’s phenotype - neuroimaging, genomics, and behavior. We developed a novel meta-analytical approach to integrate disparate resources and generated transcriptional maps of neurological disorders in the human brain yielding a purely computational procedure to pinpoint the brain location of transcribed genes likely to be involved in either onset or maintenance of the neurological condition.
