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.

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 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 finds that Black and Latinx youth in high-stigma environments have smaller hippocampal volumes compared to those in low-stigma contexts, with effects comparable to income differences.

This study examines structural covariance networks in PTSD using a large multisite dataset, finding differences in centrality measures between PTSD and control groups, and highlighting sex-based and comorbid differences.

The paper examines how whole-brain network metrics relate to emotion regulation ability in youth, finding associations between network differentiation, modularity, and community structure in key brain networks.

This study meta-analyzes 46 studies to find that early-life adversity involving threat accelerates biological aging, while deprivation and low SES do not.

The paper examines how threat and deprivation in childhood relate to cognitive, emotional, and psychopathological outcomes in children and adolescents over time.

This study finds that childhood violence exposure reduces hippocampal and amygdala volumes, which amplify the impact of later stressful life events on depression symptoms.

This study examines how age and affective experiences influence spatial and temporal variability in brain activity during emotion regulation in youth.

This study identifies reduced fractional anisotropy in the tapetum region of the corpus callosum in PTSD patients using a large multi-cohort analysis of diffusion MRI data.
