SOCR News - Neuroimaging study of obesity and brain tissue loss using the SOCR computational libraries

PNAS published the largest neuroimaging study to-date identifies the relations between obesity gene (FTO) and brain tissue loss using the SOCR computational libraries.

Reporting in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, UCLA investigators found that the FTO obesity gene is associated with a loss of brain tissue. This puts more than a third of the U.S. population at risk for a variety of diseases, such as Alzheimer's. This study used the SOCR computational libraries and SOCR Analyses to
