This paper attempts to create mind maps to measure the way that genes are impacted by the shape, size, and complexity of a brain. By doing this they would be able to pinpoint genes as well as shapes that are more susceptible to disease. To do this they have to use a population-based sample which can also shed light on familial relations and brain disorders. These mind maps would allow scientists to visualize a diseased population/ one with known genetic risk, and individual variations can be mapped onto. Parts of the brain such as grey matter, gyral patterning, and brain asymmetry; also varies with age, gender, handedness, and hemispheric dominance that a map of these features would reveal patterns not observable at the individual level.
