Brain morphogenesis is an important process contributing to higher-order cognition, however our knowledge about its biological basis is largely incomplete. Here, authors analyzed 118 neuroanatomical parameters in 1,566 mutant mouse lines to identify 198 genes whose disruptions yield neuroanatomical phenotypes
