Inhibitory control and error processing in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A mega-analysis of task-based fMRI data by the ENIGMA-OCD consortium

This study analyzes fMRI data from OCD patients and controls to identify age-specific differences in brain activation during inhibitory control and error processing.

Mapping Higher-Order Topology in OCD Brain Networks with Hodge Laplacian

This paper introduces a Hodge-Laplacian framework to analyze higher-order topology in OCD brain networks, identifying loop-level abnormalities not detectable by conventional functional connectivity analysis.

Ensemblex: an accuracy-weighted ensemble genetic demultiplexing framework for population-scale scRNAseq sample pooling

Ensemblex improves accuracy in genetic demultiplexing of pooled scRNA-seq samples by combining four algorithms with accuracy weighting.

Genome-wide Association Study identifies two novel loci for Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome

This study identifies two novel genetic loci associated with Tourette Syndrome through a genome-wide meta-analysis and integrates functional data to implicate specific genes.

Visual occipito-temporal sensitivity to digits through elementary school

The paper examines the development of visual N1 sensitivity to digits across elementary school years and finds it remains stable, contrasting with sensitivity to words or letters.

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.

White Matter Microstructure and its Relation to Clinical Features of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Findings from the ENIGMA OCD Working Group

This study identifies white matter microstructural alterations in adult OCD patients and links them to clinical features, while finding no such abnormalities in pediatric patients.

Genome-wide Association Study of Pediatric Obsessive-Compulsive Traits: Shared Genetic Risk between Traits and Disorder

This study identifies a genome-wide significant variant for OC traits and shows shared genetic risk between OC traits and OCD.

Evidence for Similar Structural Brain Anomalies in Youth and Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Machine Learning Analysis

This study uses machine learning to show that structural brain anomalies in ADHD are similar in children and adults, supporting continuity of the disorder's pathophysiology.

Reactive/proactive aggression specific cortical and subcortical alterations in children and adolescents with disruptive behavior

The paper examines structural brain differences in children and adolescents with aggressive behavior, finding subtype-specific volume reductions in regions linked to decision making and empathy.

Aggression Subtypes Relate to Distinct Resting State Functional Connectivity in Disruptive Children and Adolescents

The paper examines how reactive and proactive aggression subtypes relate to distinct resting state functional connectivity patterns in children and adolescents with disruptive behavior.

Different Whole-Brain Functional Connectivity Correlates of Reactive-Proactive Aggression and Callous-Unemotional Traits in Disruptive Children and Adolescents

The paper examines functional connectivity differences in children and adolescents with disruptive behavior, finding distinct patterns for reactive and proactive aggression and callous-unemotional traits, emphasizing the role of comorbid symptoms.

Mapping Cortical Brain Asymmetry in 17,141 Healthy Individuals Worldwide via the ENIGMA Consortium

The paper analyzes cerebral cortical asymmetry in 17,141 healthy individuals, finding widespread hemispheric and regional asymmetries, associations with sex, age, brain size, and heritability.

Evolutionary and functional data power search for obsessive-compulsive disorder genes

The paper identifies OCD-associated genes by combining evolutionary and functional data with targeted sequencing in humans and animal models.
