This study identifies genetic loci associated with childhood eating behaviour and shows they mediate obesity risk through distinct pathways, primarily driven by the child's own genotype.

The paper describes the MoBaPsychGen pipeline for quality controlling and imputing genotyping data from the MoBa cohort, identifying extensive family relationships across 207,569 individuals.

This study identifies six genome-wide significant risk loci for tic disorders and links genetic risk to specific brain cell types and circuits.

This paper identifies 58 genome-wide significant loci for major anxiety disorders using a large meta-analysis and highlights GABAergic signaling as a potential mechanism.

The paper introduces DeepTaskGen, a deep learning method that generates synthetic task-based contrast maps from resting-state fMRI data, outperforming benchmarks and enabling biomarker development for cognitive tasks.

This study identifies 52 genetic variants associated with adolescent-onset depression through a large GWAS, revealing age-specific mechanisms and potential drug targets.

This study conducts a genome-wide association analysis of generalised anxiety symptom severity, identifying 80 significant variants and showing genetic correlations with other mental and physical health traits.

This study identifies 1,257 genetic variants associated with human personality traits using large-scale GWAS and finds widespread genetic correlations with behaviors and life outcomes.

The paper examines genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity in early neurodevelopmental traits using data from the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study, identifying 11 latent factors and trait-specific genetic correlations with autism, ADHD, and schizophrenia.
