Early life stress alters lifespan trajectories of amygdala development: a cross-species model of amygdala burnout

The paper proposes the amygdala burnout hypothesis, showing early-life stress leads to initial amygdala volume increases in adolescence followed by reductions in older age across rodents and humans.

Sex-specific associations of childhood adversity with frontostriatal network organization and anhedonia in young adulthood

The paper examines how childhood adversity dimensions relate to frontostriatal network connectivity and anhedonia in young adults, finding sex-specific associations.

Multi-Timescale Neural Adaptation Failure as a Mechanistic Signature of Major Depression

This paper identifies neural adaptation failure as a core mechanism of major depression, showing it outperforms traditional measures in classification and provides a scalable biomarker.

Information Shielding Through Neural Deactivation: A Fundamental Mechanism of Human Information Processing

The paper demonstrates that information shielding involves deactivation of neural regions, challenging the traditional view that activation is the primary mode of information processing.

Genetic-Dependent Brain Signatures of Resilience: Interactions among Childhood Abuse, Genetic Risks and Brain Function

The paper identifies a genetic-dependent brain signature of resilience linked to childhood abuse and depression risk in girls, showing its predictive value for emotional disorders in adolescence and early adulthood.
