This study examines the relationship between neural activation during reappraisal tasks and individual differences in emotion regulation, finding no shared overlap across three measures and highlighting methodological challenges in fMRI research.

The paper investigates the relationship between post-stress brain connectivity and acute cortisol reactivity using network-based methods and finds reduced connectivity in a subcortical-cingulate network correlates with stronger cortisol responses.

The paper conducts GWAS on brain volumes, identifies genetic loci, and develops polygenic scores with cross-ancestry predictive ability and causal links to neuropsychiatric disorders.

The paper introduces a computationally efficient method to measure brain network flexibility using fixed modular frameworks, showing it matches results from a data-driven method with less computational cost.

The paper benchmarks and optimizes a normative modeling framework for brain morphometry across the lifespan using MFPR, showing excellent accuracy and stability.

HALFpipe provides a reproducible, interactive, and efficient analysis pipeline for fMRI data, supporting preprocessing, post-processing, and quality assessment.

The paper analyzes cortical thickness trajectories in 17,075 individuals to show peak thickness in childhood, steep decline in early adulthood, and slower decline later, with notable exceptions and significant inter-individual variability.

This study analyzes subcortical volume changes across the lifespan using MRI data from 18,605 individuals, finding age-related declines in some structures and increases in others.

The paper identifies genetic loci associated with human cortical structure and finds genetic correlations with neuropsychiatric disorders.
