Lifespan reference curves for harmonizing multi-site regional brain white matter metrics from diffusion MRI

The paper creates lifespan reference curves for white matter microstructure using diffusion MRI data from multiple datasets and validates them with ApoE4 risk factor analysis.

Subcortical nuclei of the human ascending arousal system encode anticipated reward but do not predict subsequent memory

The paper investigates subcortical nuclei activity during reward anticipation and memory encoding, finding increased activity during reward anticipation but no predictive effect on memory.

Joint models reveal human subcortical underpinnings of choice and learning behaviour

This study uses joint models to analyze human subcortical contributions to choice and learning, finding subcortical regions involved in decision urgency and reward prediction error processing.

Genomic analysis of intracranial and subcortical brain volumes yields polygenic scores accounting for variation across ancestries

The paper conducts GWAS on brain volumes, identifies genetic loci, and develops polygenic scores with cross-ancestry predictive ability and causal links to neuropsychiatric disorders.

Accelerated Aging after Traumatic Brain Injury: an ENIGMA Multi-Cohort Mega-Analysis

This study examines how brain-age differences (PAD) change over time after traumatic brain injury (TBI) using a large multi-cohort dataset.

Genetic variants for head size share genes and pathways with cancer

This study identifies 67 genetic loci associated with head size, finding strong overlaps with cancer pathways and genes, suggesting shared genetic mechanisms between head growth and cancer risk.

Investigating working memory updating processes of the human subcortex using 7T MRI

This study investigates subcortical involvement in working memory updating using 7T MRI and finds subcortical activation during gate closing and substitution, suggesting a role in general updating processes rather than specific gating.

Poorer Sleep Health is Associated with Altered Brain Activation During Cognitive Control Processing in Healthy Adults

This study finds that poorer sleep health in healthy adults is linked to altered brain activation during cognitive control tasks, with stronger fronto-parietal and subcortical responses.

Back to the future: omnipresence of fetal influence on the human brain through the lifespan

This study shows that birth weight consistently correlates with cortical surface area and volume across the lifespan, suggesting prenatal growth influences brain structure through brain reserve rather than maintenance.

The genetic architecture of human brainstem structures and their involvement in common brain disorders

The paper identifies genetic loci associated with brainstem volumes and finds genetic overlaps with psychiatric and neurological disorders.

The genetic organization of subcortical volumetric change is stable throughout the lifespan

This paper identifies stable developmental clusters of subcortical volumetric change across the lifespan and shows genetic organization within these clusters.

Metric and chronological time in human episodic memory

This study investigates how metric and chronological time are encoded in episodic memory, finding that metric time is processed in specific brain regions for short time-scales.

Genetic control of variability in subcortical and intracranial volumes

The paper identifies genetic loci associated with variability in brain volumes and thickness, showing they are distinct from loci affecting mean volumes.

Genetics of brain age suggest an overlap with common brain disorders

The paper estimates brain age gaps using MRI and machine learning in individuals with and without brain disorders, finding heritability and genetic overlap with common disorders.

Common genetic variation indicates separate etiologies for periventricular and deep white matter hyperintensities

This study identifies genetic loci specific to periventricular and deep white matter hyperintensities, revealing distinct genetic architectures and potential biological mechanisms.

Continuity and discontinuity in human cortical development and change from embryonic stages to old age

This paper identifies continuous cortical regionalization from embryonic stages to old age using longitudinal data and gene expression analysis.

Brain scans from 21297 individuals reveal the genetic architecture of hippocampal subfield volumes

This study identifies 15 genome-wide significant loci associated with hippocampal subfield volumes in 21,297 individuals, revealing distinct genetic determinants for different subfields.

Genetic Architecture of Subcortical Brain Structures in Over 40,000 Individuals Worldwide

The paper identifies 25 genetic loci associated with subcortical brain structure volumes in over 40,000 individuals, revealing novel biology and potential drug targets.

Do Candidate Genes Affect the Brain’s White Matter Microstructure? Large-Scale Evaluation of 6,165 Diffusion MRI Scans

The paper evaluates 15 candidate SNPs associated with psychiatric disorders using 6,165 diffusion MRI scans, finding no significant associations after correction for multiple testing.
