A peripheral epigenetic signature of immune system genes is linked to neocortical thickness and memory
Cortical thickness has high heritability estimates and is known to be influenced by genetic factors. Here, Freytag and colleagues show that DNA methylation patterns of peripheral blood monocytes are also correlated with cortical thickness and memory performance in human.
