Reproducible Human Reward Imaging Phenotypes Exhibit Differential Sensitivity to Dopamine D2 Receptor Antagonism

The paper identifies two reproducible reward imaging phenotypes linked to dopamine D2 receptor function and shows differential responses to antipsychotic drugs.

Genetic Risk and Resilience for Schizophrenia Stratified by Perinatal Gene Expression Predict Adult Cognitive Performance

The paper examines how schizophrenia genetic risk and resilience variants, co-expressed in the human brain, are associated with cognitive performance across development in 16,520 individuals.

Co-expression-based models improve eQTL predictions and highlightnovel transcriptome-wide genes associated with schizophrenia

The paper introduces co-expression-based models to improve eQTL predictions and identifies novel schizophrenia-associated genes using brain RNA-seq data.

A miR-137-related biological pathway of risk for Schizophrenia is associated with human brain emotion processing

The paper links miR-137 and its target genes to schizophrenia risk through emotion processing in the prefrontal cortex, showing allele associations with brain activation patterns.

Dopamine and schizophrenia from bench to bedside: Discovery of a striatal co-expression risk gene set that predicts in vivo measures of striatal function.

The paper identifies a striatal gene set linked to schizophrenia risk that predicts in vivo dopamine synthesis and striatal activation in neurotypical and patient cohorts.

Rare schizophrenia risk variant burden is conserved in diverse human populations

The paper investigates the conservation of rare schizophrenia risk variants across diverse populations and finds consistent burden in constrained genes.

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.

Prefrontal co-expression of schizophrenia risk genes is associated with treatment response in patients

The paper identifies a gene co-expression module enriched for schizophrenia risk genes and shows its association with treatment response in schizophrenia patients.
