This project will examine the relationship between the genetic risk factors for common neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and epilepsy, and brain structure and function. Through the different analyses of the project, we aim to determine if alterations in brain structure and function are linked to neurological conditions and if they are related to relevant genetic risk factors that predispose individuals to develop one of these neurological conditions.
This project will likely be completed within 3 years.
We hope the findings of this project will inform us about the underlying causes of these common neurological conditions and help us develop targeted therapies in the future.
