We aim to estimate the genetic influence on WM structures using Fibre Orientation Distrubution (FOD) based measurements. We hypothesize that because FOD resolves the crossing fibres, it will allow measuring genetic influence on intra-voxel fibre structures. We estimated the heritability of FOD measures over a twin cohort, by projecting the heritability of FOD onto fibre tracks, and estimating the genetic influence along fibre tracks.
