The paper shows that in male adolescents, lower cardiac vagal regulation links to greater emotion dysregulation and psychopathology, mediated by interoceptive accuracy, while this pathway is absent in females.

This study links early autonomic nervous system development to adolescent psychosocial outcomes, finding male-specific associations between infant heart rate and vagal heart rate variability trajectories and later psychosocial difficulties.

This study links vagally mediated heart rate variability (vmHRV) with longitudinal cortical thinning patterns in adolescents, showing region-specific associations during cortical maturation.

This study examines brain morphometric deviations in individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis and finds they largely overlap with healthy variation and are not strongly associated with symptom severity or conversion to psychosis.

The paper demonstrates a data harmonization process for memory testing across 53 studies, reducing inter-site variance while preserving covariate effects.
