The Canadian Pediatric Imaging Platform (C-PIP) Reference Sample: Neuroimaging Protocol and Cross-site Validation for Harmonized Multimodal Pediatric Imaging

The paper describes the development of a harmonized multisite MRI protocol for pediatric brain imaging and validates its cross-site consistency.

Brain-Age Prediction: Systematic Evaluation of Site Effects, and Sample Age Range and Size

The paper evaluates factors affecting brain-age prediction models using structural neuroimaging data from 35,683 individuals, finding optimal model performance with no site harmonization, age-binning, and a sample size of over 1,600.

Normative Modeling of Brain Morphometry Across the Lifespan using CentileBrain: Algorithm Benchmarking and Model Optimization

The paper benchmarks and optimizes a normative modeling framework for brain morphometry across the lifespan using MFPR, showing excellent accuracy and stability.

Dissociable Cellular and Genetic Mechanisms of Cortical Thinning at Different Life Stages

The paper examines age-related variations in cortical thickness across different life stages using gene expression data from a large neuroimaging dataset.

Personality-specific pathways from peer victimization to adolescent alcohol misuse: A multilevel longitudinal moderated mediation analysis

This study examines how peer victimization influences adolescent alcohol use through internalizing and externalizing symptoms, moderated by personality traits over five years.

Cortical Thickness Trajectories across the Lifespan: Data from 17,075 healthy individuals aged 3-90 years

The paper analyzes cortical thickness trajectories in 17,075 individuals to show peak thickness in childhood, steep decline in early adulthood, and slower decline later, with notable exceptions and significant inter-individual variability.

Greater male than female variability in regional brain structure across the lifespan

The paper analyzes sex differences in brain structure variability across the lifespan using a large dataset, finding greater male variability in subcortical volumes, cortical surface area, and thickness in most regions.

Subcortical Volume Trajectories across the Lifespan: Data from 18,605 healthy individuals aged 3-90 years

This study analyzes subcortical volume changes across the lifespan using MRI data from 18,605 individuals, finding age-related declines in some structures and increases in others.

Sleep, regional grey matter volumes, and psychological functioning in adolescents

This study examines the relationship between sleep patterns and grey matter volumes in adolescents, finding that later weekend wake-up times are linked to reduced grey matter in specific brain regions and increased psychological symptoms.

Genomic architecture of human neuroanatomical diversity

The paper analyzes neuroimaging and genotyping data to show that 54% of neuroanatomical heritability is explained by many small-effect SNPs across the genome.
