Brain Age in Conduct Disorder: A Mega-Analysis of the ENIGMA Antisocial Behavior Working Group

This study investigates brain age differences in youth with conduct disorder compared to controls, finding accelerated brain maturation in those with adolescence-onset CD.

Image-Based Meta- and Mega-Analysis (IBMMA): A Unified Framework for Large-Scale, Multi-Site, Neuroimaging Data Analysis

IBMMA improves neuroimaging analysis by handling missing data and large datasets, revealing new brain region findings overlooked by traditional methods.

Volumetric Differences of Thalamic Nuclei are Associated with Post-Trauma Psychopathology

The paper examines thalamic volume differences in trauma-exposed individuals with PTSD, MDD, and controls, finding specific volume reductions and associations with symptom severity and childhood trauma.

Integrative multi-omics analysis of genomic, epigenomic, and metabolomics data leads to new insights for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

This study integrates genomics, epigenomics, and metabolomics data to identify ADHD biomarkers and explore omics-level connections, finding associations between PGSs, CpGs, and metabolites.

A Multi-omics Data Analysis Workflow Packaged as a FAIR Digital Object

The paper develops a multi-omics data analysis workflow packaged as a FAIR Digital Object to improve reproducibility and reuse in computational research.

A Comparison of Methods to Harmonize Cortical Thickness Measurements Across Scanners and Sites

This paper compares four methods for harmonizing cortical thickness data across multiple sites and finds that ComBat-GAM is most effective in detecting case-control differences and age-related cortical thinning.

Heritability of Urinary Amines, Organic Acids, and Steroid Hormones in Children

This study examines heritability of urinary metabolites in children, finding substantial genetic contributions across amines, organic acids, and steroids.

Structural Covariance Networks in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Multisite ENIGMA-PGC Study

This study examines structural covariance networks in PTSD using a large multisite dataset, finding differences in centrality measures between PTSD and control groups, and highlighting sex-based and comorbid differences.

DNA methylation signatures of aggression and closely related constructs: A meta-analysis of epigenome-wide studies across the lifespan

This paper identifies DNA methylation sites associated with aggression through a meta-analysis of epigenome-wide studies across different age groups and tissues.

Brain Aging in Major Depressive Disorder: Results from the ENIGMA Major Depressive Disorder working group

This paper examines brain aging in major depressive disorder (MDD) using a large dataset, finding that MDD patients show increased brain age differences compared to controls.

Hippocampal subfield volumes are uniquely affected in PTSD and depression: International analysis of 31 cohorts from the PGC-ENIGMA PTSD Working Group

This study identifies hippocampal subfield volume differences in PTSD and depression across 31 cohorts, finding depression has a stronger effect than PTSD, especially in CA1, with comorbid cases showing more pronounced changes.

Altered White Matter Microstructural Organization in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder across 3,049 Adults: Results from the PGC-ENIGMA PTSD Consortium

This study identifies reduced fractional anisotropy in the tapetum region of the corpus callosum in PTSD patients using a large multi-cohort analysis of diffusion MRI data.
