This study identifies stable associations between adult personality polygenic indices and childhood behaviors in the ABCD Study, showing early evidence of genetic influence on traits like mental health and impulsivity.

The paper links socioeconomic status (SES) to brain-wide associations, showing SES has stronger associations with brain structure and function than IQ or psychopathology.

This paper identifies childhood phenotypes associated with genetic risk for elevated CRP using a PheWAS in the ABCD Study, finding associations with weight, eating, and screen time that are largely independent of BMI.

The paper examines how changes in cognition and neural metrics over time relate to persistent distressing psychotic-like experiences in adolescents, finding that environmental risks are partially explained by these changes.

The paper evaluates test-retest reliability of brain imaging metrics across multiple sites and scanners, finding significant differences in reliability between scanner types.

The paper examines how genetic risk scores relate to attentional variability and psychotic-like experiences in adolescents, finding partial mediation through attentional variability.

This study applies machine learning to neuroimaging data to identify brain connectivity biomarkers linked to age, emphasizing the importance of accounting for family variance and using network enrichment for biological interpretation.

The paper examines associations between resting state functional connectivity and a hierarchical psychopathology structure in middle childhood, finding strong links with neurodevelopmental factors.
