The elusive neural signature of emotion regulation capabilities: evidence from a large-scale consortium

This study examines the relationship between neural activation during reappraisal tasks and individual differences in emotion regulation, finding no shared overlap across three measures and highlighting methodological challenges in fMRI research.

Childhood Maltreatment and Deviations from Normative Brain Structure: Results from 3,711 Individuals from the ENIGMA MDD and ENIGMA PTSD

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.

The functional neurobiology of negative affective traits across regions, networks, signatures, and a machine learning multiverse

The paper investigates the neural basis of negative affective traits using fMRI data from 458 adults, finding that whole-brain machine learning models better predict stress vulnerability than region- or network-level measures.

The DNA methylation landscape of the human oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR): Recommendations for future research

This study identifies functionally relevant CpG clusters in the OXTR gene associated with childhood maltreatment and provides a web tool for future research.

Multimodal Imaging-Based Classification of PTSD Using Data-Driven Computational Approaches: A Multisite Big Data Study from the ENIGMA-PGC PTSD Consortium

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.
