Inflections in adolescent cortical maturation signal psychopathology risk

Jacqueline Alexandra Clauss, Dongmei Zhi, Sofía Álvarez Perdomo, Richard Dear, Keiko Kunitoki, Dylan Hughes, August T Blum, Kristina A. Kane, Safia Elyounssi, Bob Cooper, Eline Laurent, Oren M. Bazer, Louis Vinke, Sarah O'Dor, Elizabeth A. Flook, , Joshua L. Roffman

The paper shows that differences in adolescent cortical maturation patterns predict psychiatric symptoms, with early maturing sensory regions linked to symptoms four years before their onset.

The genetic architecture of cortical similarity networks

Isaac Sebenius, Varun Warrier, Richard A. I. Bethlehem, Richard Dear, Eva-Maria Stauffer, Yuanjun Gu, Rafael Romero-García, Jakob Seidlitz, Edward Thomas Bullmore, Sarah Elizabeth Morgan

The paper investigates genetic effects on cortical similarity networks using MRI data and finds two genetically determined gradients linked to brain evolution and neuropsychiatric risks.

Cortical gene expression architecture links healthy neurodevelopment to the imaging, transcriptomics, and genetics of autism and schizophrenia

Richard Dear, Konrad Wagstyl, Jakob Seidlitz, Ross D. Markello, Aurina Arnatkevičiūtė, Kevin M. Anderson, Richard A. I. Bethlehem, Armin Raznahan, Edward Thomas Bullmore, Petra E. Vértes

The paper identifies new cortical gene expression components linked to neurodevelopment and finds associations with autism and schizophrenia across multiple data types.
