Genome-wide analysis identifies 66 variants underlying anatomical variation in human neuroendocrine structures and reveals links to testosterone

This study identifies 66 genetic variants linked to neuroendocrine structure volumes and links some to testosterone levels using UK Biobank data.

Internally-consistent and fully-unbiased multimodal MRI brain template construction from UK Biobank: Oxford-MM

This paper constructs internally-consistent, fully-unbiased multimodal MRI brain templates from UK Biobank data, showing improved registration accuracy compared to existing templates.

MMORF - FSL's MultiMOdal Registration Framework

MMORF is a nonlinear image registration tool for MRI brain images that outperforms existing methods in accuracy and distortion control across multiple domains.

Phenotypic and genetic associations of quantitative magnetic susceptibility in UK Biobank brain imaging

The paper develops a QSM pipeline to analyze brain magnetic susceptibility in UK Biobank data, finding associations with iron, disease, and genetic variants.

Multimodal imaging brain markers in early adolescence are linked with a physically active lifestyle

The paper links multimodal brain imaging markers in adolescents with physical activity and health measures using canonical correlation analysis.

Enhanced Brain Imaging Genetics in UK Biobank

The paper expands genetic associations with brain imaging phenotypes using updated UK Biobank data, finding more genetic variants and associations, including on the X chromosome.

XTRACT - Standardised protocols for automated tractography in the human and macaque brain

The paper introduces XTRACT, a software package with standardised tractography protocols for automated white matter tract extraction in human and macaque brains, validated across datasets and species.

Brain aging comprises many modes of structural and functional change with distinct genetic and biophysical associations

The paper identifies 62 distinct modes of brain aging from multimodal imaging data, showing varied genetic and lifestyle associations.

Population-based neuroimaging reveals traces of childbirth in the maternal brain

The paper uses neuroimaging and machine learning to show that more childbirths are associated with a younger-looking brain in women, independent of genetics.

Human Handedness: Genetics, Microtubules, Neuropsychiatric Diseases and Brain Language Areas

This study identifies genome-wide significant genetic loci for handedness and links them to microtubule-related genes associated with brain lateralization and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Genome-wide association studies of brain structure and function in the UK Biobank

This study performs genome-wide association analyses on brain imaging phenotypes from UK Biobank, identifying 148 significant SNP-imaging associations with potential relevance to neurological and psychiatric disorders.
