The ________ project enables researchers to examine differences between the brains of healthy people and those with various disorders.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The PsychENCODE project is focused on identifying genes and regulatory elements in the brain that contribute to various psychiatric disorders, such as autism and schizophrenia, by examining brain tissue samples from individuals with these disorders as well as healthy controls. It utilizes advanced genomic technologies to analyze gene expression, chromatin structure, and other molecular features of the brain. MEG and MRI can provide information about brain activity and structure, respectively, but do not focus specifically on the genetic or molecular underpinnings of psychiatric disorders. Diffusion spectrum imaging is a type of MRI that is used to image the structural connectivity of the brain, but would not necessarily provide information on genetic or molecular differences. Therefore, C is the best choice.
