The PMADS Project: A Longitudinal Multimodal Cohort Study to Understand Risk for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders

The PMADS Project tracks neurobiological and clinical changes in high-risk individuals across the perinatal period to identify biomarkers linking brain plasticity to PMADs risk.

Cannabis Use and Glutamate across the Psychosis Spectrum: In Vivo Evidence from 7T Proton Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

This study examines the relationship between cannabis use, glutamate levels in the anterior cingulate cortex, and symptom severity across the psychosis spectrum using 7T proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

An open, fully-processed data resource for studying mood and sleep variability in the developing brain

The paper introduces an open data resource combining neuroimaging and behavioral measures to study mood and sleep in adolescents and young adults.

Benchmarking Orientation Distribution Function Estimation Methods for Tractometry in Single-Shell Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging - An Evaluation of Test-Retest Reliability and Predictive Capability

This paper evaluates ODF reconstruction methods for single-shell dMRI, finding SS3T provides reliable and predictive WM bundle segmentation with lower angular resolution data.

Mapping individual differences in intermodal coupling in neurodevelopment

The paper introduces CEIDR, a method to test individual differences in intermodal brain coupling, and demonstrates its application in neurodevelopmental studies.

Network Enrichment Significance Testing in Brain-Phenotype Association Studies

The paper introduces NEST, a framework for testing brain-phenotype associations within functional networks, applied to neurodevelopmental imaging data.

Establishing the Validity of Compressed Sensing Diffusion Spectrum Imaging

This study evaluates six compressed sensing diffusion spectrum imaging (CS-DSI) schemes, finding they provide accurate and reliable white matter structure measures with up to 80% reduced scan time compared to full DSI.

Individual Differences in Delay Discounting are Associated with Dorsal Prefrontal Cortex Connectivity in Youth

This study links individual differences in delay discounting to specific patterns of dorsal prefrontal cortex connectivity in youth using resting-state fMRI.

Spatially-enhanced clusterwise inference for testing and localizing intermodal correspondence

The paper introduces CLEAN-R, a method to test and localize intermodal correspondence in neuroimaging data, demonstrating high statistical power and nominal type I error levels.

Voxel-wise Intermodal Coupling Analysis of Two or More Modalities using Local Covariance Decomposition

This paper introduces a method to analyze intermodal coupling between multiple brain imaging modalities and applies it to study neurodevelopmental patterns in adolescents.

Developmental coupling of cerebral blood flow and fMRI fluctuations in youth

This study examines how cerebral blood flow and fMRI fluctuations are coupled in youth, finding age-related decreases, sex differences, and links to executive function.

Neurocognitive and Functional Heterogeneity in Depressed Youth

This study identifies three neurocognitive subtypes of depression in youth using machine learning, showing distinct neural signatures despite similar clinical symptoms.

Convergent neural representations of acute nociceptive pain in healthy volunteers: A large-scale fMRI meta-analysis

This study identifies a consistent neural signature of acute pain in healthy volunteers through a large-scale fMRI meta-analysis, highlighting a core set of brain regions involved in pain processing.

Neurostructural Heterogeneity in Youth with Internalizing Symptoms

This study identifies two neurobiologically distinct subtypes of youth with internalizing symptoms using structural brain imaging and machine learning.
