This paper investigates neural mechanisms of approach-avoidance control using fMRI and behavioral tasks, finding that threat-like responses to conflicting stimuli trigger reward-like behaviors and that VS-rTPJ connectivity predicts conflict resolution.

This study compares thalamic nucleus volumes across multiple psychiatric and neurological disorders using MRI, finding significant volume reductions in specific regions associated with different conditions.

The paper examines how childhood adversity affects threat learning in healthy adults, finding reduced discrimination between danger and safety signals but not overgeneralization.

This study analyzes structural brain asymmetries in ADHD using 39 datasets, finding small effects that do not meet study-wide significance thresholds.

This study uses machine learning to show that structural brain anomalies in ADHD are similar in children and adults, supporting continuity of the disorder's pathophysiology.

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