Genome-wide association studies of lifetime and frequency cannabis use in 131,895 individuals

This paper conducts GWAS on cannabis use frequency and lifetime use, identifies genetic loci, and shows genetic correlations with other traits and diseases.

Genomic structural equation modeling of impulsivity and risk-taking traits reveals three latent factors distinctly associated with brain structure and development

The paper identifies three latent genetic factors of impulsivity and risk-taking traits and links them to distinct brain structures and developmental patterns in children.

Genome-wide association study of delay discounting in 134,935 individuals identifies novel loci and transdiagnostic associations across mental and physical health

This study identifies 14 genome-wide significant loci for delay discounting in 134,935 individuals and shows genetic associations with 212 medical conditions.

Analysis of structural brain asymmetries in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in 39 datasets

This study analyzes structural brain asymmetries in ADHD using 39 datasets, finding small effects that do not meet study-wide significance thresholds.

Reduced fronto-striatal volume in ADHD in two cohorts across the lifespan

The paper uses independent component analysis to identify reduced fronto-striatal volume in ADHD across two cohorts, showing consistent results across age and demographic differences.

The Role of Gene Encoding Variation of DRD4 in the Relationship between Inattention and Seasonal Daylight

The paper investigates how genetic variation in DRD4 interacts with seasonal daylight changes to influence inattention, finding support for the Spring-focus hypothesis and seasonal patterns in ADHD-related symptoms.
