The paper identifies two reproducible reward imaging phenotypes linked to dopamine D2 receptor function and shows differential responses to antipsychotic drugs.

The paper examines how schizophrenia genetic risk and resilience variants, co-expressed in the human brain, are associated with cognitive performance across development in 16,520 individuals.

This paper establishes a normative model of hippocampal geometry across the lifespan using data from 27,000 individuals, revealing age-related changes and disease-specific alterations.

This study investigates the effects of acute Methylene Blue administration on cerebral blood flow and metabolism in humans and rats, finding dose-dependent reductions in CBF and metabolic rates contrary to initial hypotheses.

The paper uses Mapper to create gene co-expression networks that reflect brain anatomy and function, validated with the Allen Human Brain Atlas and dopamine-related gene sets.

This study identifies 15 genome-wide significant loci associated with hippocampal subfield volumes in 21,297 individuals, revealing distinct genetic determinants for different subfields.
