This study uses topological data analysis to show that MDD alters brain network topology, with changes varying by illness course and medication status.

The paper screens variants in PD-related genes in Latin American EOPD and familial PD patients, identifying pathogenic variants and contributing to the genetic characterization of these conditions in the region.

This study evaluates polygenic risk scores for Parkinson's disease in admixed Latin American populations, finding that European-derived PRS outperform ancestry-matched but underpowered datasets.

The paper generates a multi-scale functional dog brain atlas using spatially constrained spectral clustering and validates its replicability and coherence across scales.

This study examines the combined effects of chronic stress and ethanol intake on brain structure, function, and behavior in rats, finding sex-dependent impacts on brain volume and connectivity.

This study compares functional brain network properties between preterm and at-term neonates using resting-state fMRI, finding significant differences in connectivity metrics and non-linear developmental trajectories.

This study identifies the functional connectivity of the human claustrum using HCP data, finding connections to multiple brain regions and supporting its role in neural networks.

This study estimates the genetic contribution to astigmatism and myopia in the Mexican population using twin data and finds high heritability and genetic correlations.

The paper examines dynamic functional connectivity patterns in meditators during an interoceptive attention task and rest periods, finding task-related changes in network organization.

This study identifies genetic correlations and causal associations between circadian preference and white matter microstructure using GWAS and DTI data.

This study shows that brain functional connectome development follows nonlinear trajectories dependent on puberty rather than chronological age, with increased connectivity and efficiency after pubertal onset.

This study conducts a meta-analysis of VBM studies to identify gray and white matter morphology changes in substance use disorders, finding both convergent and divergent effects based on substance type and consumption severity.

The paper introduces NBR, an R-package extending Network-Based Statistics to handle unbalanced longitudinal samples using mixed-effects models, showing higher statistical power in detecting significant brain connectivity subnetworks associated with state anxiety.

This study compares empathic abilities and brain connectivity between psychotherapists and non-psychotherapists, finding greater cognitive regulation in psychotherapists.

This paper uses topological data analysis to identify altered brain network topology in ADHD, showing significant differences in functional connectomes, especially in the frontal lobe and default mode network.

This study investigates the neural correlates of music-induced analgesia in fibromyalgia patients using resting-state fMRI and finds lateralized changes in functional connectivity associated with pain reduction.

This study examines functional reorganization in children after hemispherotomy, finding altered perfusion and connectivity patterns in the remaining hemisphere.
