The paper examines how childhood maltreatment affects brain structure in 3,711 individuals with MDD and PTSD, finding age- and sex-specific brain morphometric differences.

IBMMA improves neuroimaging analysis by handling missing data and large datasets, revealing new brain region findings overlooked by traditional methods.

This paper classifies PTSD vs. controls using MRI data from multiple sites, finding better performance when distinguishing PTSD from trauma-unexposed controls than trauma-exposed controls, and showing DVAE improves generalizability.

This study finds smaller total and subregional cerebellar volumes in PTSD compared to controls using a large dataset and advanced parcellation methods.

This paper compares four methods for harmonizing cortical thickness data across multiple sites and finds that ComBat-GAM is most effective in detecting case-control differences and age-related cortical thinning.

This study examines structural covariance networks in PTSD using a large multisite dataset, finding differences in centrality measures between PTSD and control groups, and highlighting sex-based and comorbid differences.

This study identifies genetic variants associated with self-reported childhood maltreatment and finds significant genetic correlations with depressive symptoms.

This study identifies reduced fractional anisotropy in the tapetum region of the corpus callosum in PTSD patients using a large multi-cohort analysis of diffusion MRI data.

This study conducts the largest GWAS for PTSD, identifying 6 genome-wide significant loci in European and African ancestries and highlighting novel biological pathways.
