<span style="background:white">Cognitive ability is subserved by large-scale brain networks. Previous research has established a relationship between normative spatial patterns of gene expression across the cortex, and the neuroanatomical as well as the functional
organization of the cortex. However, the relationship between variations in gene expression across the cortex and cognitive ability has not yet been systematically investigated. In this talk, I will focus on how copy number variants (CNVs), which are genomic
deletions or duplications and fully encompass one or more genes, offer a unique opportunity to characterize the impact of inter-individual genetic variation on cognitive ability. Using one of the largest aggregated data with CNV calls and measures of cognitive
ability, we map the effects of CNVs on cognitive ability across the human cortex. The deletion and duplication effect size maps show positive and negative correlations with the established hierarchical gradient of the cortical organization. Our findings suggest
that mutations with opposing gene dosage alter cognitive ability when they affect genes with opposing spatial patterns of expression in the cortex, suggesting that there is an optimal balance of gene expression across large-scale brain networks.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
