Peer reviewedFlowers, D. Lynn – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1993
This article summarizes work in progress at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine (North Carolina) on the structure and physiological profiles of reading disability and relates the findings to core left-hemisphere language functions. Data add evidence of the structural anomalies associated with dyslexia and evidence of its heritability, especially of…

fMRI Correlates of State and Trait Effects in Subjects at Genetically Enhanced Risk of Schizophrenia
Direct linkWhalley, Heather C.; Simonotto, E.; Flett, S.; Marshal, I.; Ebmeier, K. P.; Owens, D. G. C.; Goddard, N. H.; Johnstone, E. C.; Lawrie, S. M. – Brain, 2004
Schizophrenia is a highly heritable disorder that typically develops in early adult life. Structural imaging studies have indicated that patients with the illness, and to some extent their unaffected relatives, have subtle deficits in several brain regions, including prefrontal and temporal lobes. It is, however, not known how this inherited…
