This study maps TMS-induced discomfort across the whole brain using TMS-fMRI and shows it accounts for 12-25% of TMS-evoked responses.

This study uses TMS combined with iEEG and fMRI to show that parietal TMS guided by hippocampal connectivity engages and modulates hippocampal activity, with effects related to individual FC strength and theta oscillations.

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.

The paper examines thalamic volume differences in trauma-exposed individuals with PTSD, MDD, and controls, finding specific volume reductions and associations with symptom severity and childhood trauma.

This study uses concurrent sp-TMS/fMRI to map brain circuits in healthy and depressed individuals, investigating how spTMS modulates neural connectivity.

The paper maps stimulus-response patterns in the human cortex using TMS-EEG and relates them to whole-brain neuroimaging measures from a single densely-sampled individual.

This study identifies neurochemical influences on fMRI response polarity in the striatum, showing opioidergic transmission contributes to negative signals while dopaminergic transmission is associated with positive signals.

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.

The paper introduces and validates a novel human task for studying approach-avoidance conflict, identifies associated neural patterns, and links them to trait anxiety.

The paper investigates genetic factors influencing a neurobiological substrate for psychiatric disorders and finds that a common genetic variant is associated with the substrate but not directly with disease risk.

This paper develops a data-driven ontology for human brain structure-function mapping using computational methods applied to nearly 20,000 neuroimaging articles, revealing novel domain patterns and improved replicability.
