The paper creates lifespan reference curves for white matter microstructure using diffusion MRI data from multiple datasets and validates them with ApoE4 risk factor analysis.

The paper describes the Queensland Twin Adolescent Brain (QTAB) dataset, which includes multimodal neuroimaging, cognitive, and mental health data from adolescent twins over two sessions.

The paper examines age-related variations in cortical thickness across different life stages using gene expression data from a large neuroimaging dataset.

In 159,701 siblings from 17 cohorts, population GWAS overstate direct effects on height, education, smoking, cognition, depressive symptoms and age at first birth; clinical traits mostly agree across models.

This study estimates the reliability and heritability of cortical folds using MRI data, finding moderate to high heritability for most sulcal metrics and regional variation in genetic influences.

This study examines the heritability and environmental influences on the plasma lipidome in older Australian twins, finding most variation is due to unique environmental factors.

This paper identifies 58 significant associations between grey matter structure and diverse human phenotypes using large neuroimaging datasets and shows body size factors explain part of these associations.

This paper examines brain aging in major depressive disorder (MDD) using a large dataset, finding that MDD patients show increased brain age differences compared to controls.

The paper reports epigenome-wide meta-analyses of blood DNA methylation with subcortical brain volumes, identifying significant associations with hippocampal volume and potential biological mechanisms.

This paper improves hippocampus subfield segmentation by using non-linear realignment to reduce movement artefacts and enhance image quality in MR scans.

The paper identifies 161 genome-wide significant genetic associations for cortical structure traits across 34 brain regions, highlighting key biological pathways and gene functions.

The paper identifies genetic associations with cortical surface area using PCA and GWAS, linking DAAM1 to visual cortex development through mitochondrial pathways and thalamocortical input.

Genome-wide association meta-analysis of 20,183 ADHD cases and 35,191 controls finds 12 significant loci; signal concentrates in conserved regions, constrained genes, and CNS regulatory elements.

This paper identifies novel pleiotropic risk loci for melanoma and nevus density, implicating multiple biological pathways and gene expression under MITF regulation.

This study performs a bivariate GWAS to identify new common variants influencing bitter taste perception, finding small-effect SNPs on chromosomes 7 and 12.

This study identifies 99 genetic loci associated with general cognitive function using data from 280,360 individuals, finding genes linked to brain structure and neurodegenerative disorders.

This study investigates the association between CpG methylation and educational attainment, finding limited significant associations that may be influenced by confounding factors.

The paper evaluates 15 candidate SNPs associated with psychiatric disorders using 6,165 diffusion MRI scans, finding no significant associations after correction for multiple testing.
