Brain Volumes, Thicknesses, and Surface Areas as Mediators of Genetic Factors and Childhood Adversity on Intelligence

The paper examines how brain volumes, thicknesses, and surface areas mediate genetic and environmental effects on intelligence using UK Biobank data.

Adaptive compensation of arcuate fasciculus lateralization in developmental dyslexia

The paper investigates the relationship between arcuate fasciculus lateralization and literacy skills in children with developmental dyslexia, finding adaptive compensation in specific segments.

White matter connectivity in uncinate fasciculus accounts for visual attention span in developmental dyslexia

This study examines connectivity disruptions in the uncinate fasciculus in developmental dyslexia, finding sex-specific effects and a link to visual attention span.

Comparing Brain Asymmetries Independently of Brain Size

This paper investigates how brain asymmetry indices are affected by brain size and shows that omitting size-related predictors biases sex and age differences in asymmetries.

Neuroanatomical Norms in the UK Biobank: The Impact of Allometric Scaling, Sex, and Age.

This study generates neuroanatomical norms from UK Biobank data, showing allometry, sex, and age effects on brain structure, with 67% of regions differing between sexes and 49% declining with age.

A universal reading network and its modulation by writing system and reading ability in French and Chinese children

This study examines the neural mechanisms of reading acquisition and disabilities in French and Chinese children, finding similar brain circuits and activation patterns across writing systems.

Genome Wide Association Scan identifies new variants associated with a cognitive predictor of dyslexia.

The paper conducts a GWAS to identify genetic variants associated with a cognitive predictor of dyslexia, finding significant associations with variants near MIR924HG and NKAIN3.
