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.

Explaining Deep Learning-Based Representations of Resting State Functional Connectivity Data: Focusing on Interpreting Nonlinear Patterns in Autism Spectrum Disorder

This paper introduces explainable variational autoencoders to interpret nonlinear patterns in resting state fMRI data from autism spectrum disorder and control groups.

Smaller total and subregional cerebellar volumes in posttraumatic stress disorder: a mega-analysis by the ENIGMA-PGC PTSD workgroup

This study finds smaller total and subregional cerebellar volumes in PTSD compared to controls using a large dataset and advanced parcellation methods.

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.

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.

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.
