Mapping Higher-Order Topology in OCD Brain Networks with Hodge Laplacian

This paper introduces a Hodge-Laplacian framework to analyze higher-order topology in OCD brain networks, identifying loop-level abnormalities not detectable by conventional functional connectivity analysis.

Executive control in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A worldwide mega-analysis of task-based functional neuroimaging data of the ENIGMA-OCD consortium

This study analyzes fMRI data from OCD patients and controls to identify neural activation patterns during executive control tasks, finding reduced activation in frontoparietal regions and increased default mode network activity in OCD.

Prognostic and biological roles of Parkinson's disease genes in cancer

The paper investigates the association between Parkinson's disease genes and cancer outcomes, finding gene-specific survival correlations and links to cancer hallmarks and drug responses.
