The paper shows that higher genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease is linked to faster brain volume loss and memory decline in healthy adults.

This study examines sex-specific effects of polygenic risk for schizophrenia on cognitive functioning across the lifespan in healthy individuals, finding male-specific associations.

The paper examines how education and income relate to brain and cognitive differences across European and US cohorts, finding heterogeneous effects and stronger associations in US samples.

This study finds that worse self-reported sleep relates to faster hippocampal microstructural decline in β-amyloid positive adults, independent of genetic risk.

The paper identifies asymmetric thinning of the cerebral cortex across aging and Alzheimer's Disease, showing that the initially thicker hemisphere thins faster, with this pattern replicated across multiple cohorts.

The paper examines the relationship between self-reported sleep parameters and cortical thinning in aging, finding associations with specific brain regions but not with memory decline or amyloid-β accumulation.

The paper examines how self-reported sleep relates to hippocampal atrophy across adulthood using data from the Lifebrain consortium and UK Biobank, finding that worse sleep is linked to faster hippocampal volume loss over time.
