The paper models the genetic architecture of cortical expansion using GWAS data and links it to neuropsychiatric disorders.

The paper identifies inflated effect sizes in functional neuroimaging studies and proposes a correction method to improve study planning and detection of brain effects.

This study investigates how expectation influences hedonic experiences and midbrain responses to sweet flavors, showing that expectations modulate neural responses and perceived pleasantness of sugar and non-nutritive sweeteners.

This study analyzes self-citation rates across 100,347 articles from 63 neuroscience journals between 2000-2020, revealing trends in self-citation by author position, country, gender, and field.

The paper shows brain-handedness associations vary based on how and when handedness is measured, using two large datasets.

The paper shows that overlooked brain connectivity features can yield different neurobiological interpretations with similar prediction accuracy in neuroimaging studies.

The paper evaluates the statistical power of external validation in brain-phenotype predictions and finds that sample size impacts power and effect size inflation.

The paper examines how stress affects proactive and reactive inhibition in bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa binge-purging subtype using fMRI and behavioral tasks.

This study examines how age and BMI interact to affect cortical thickness in adolescents and adults, finding differing effects across age groups.

This study links cortical thickness and structural connectivity changes to symptom severity in bulimia nervosa using MRI data from 15 women.

This study uses cTBS to disrupt the right posterior superior temporal sulcus and finds reduced emotion recognition from biological motion, supporting its causal role in this task.

The paper investigates how alpha EEG power suppresses Pavlovian bias during social reinforcement learning, contrasting it with theta power for monetary feedback.
