Generalizable sex differences in functional brain organization follow the cortical hierarchy in youth

The paper examines sex differences in functional brain connectivity across youth, finding that males show greater network integration while females show greater network segregation along the sensorimotor-association axis.

The PMADS Project: A Longitudinal Multimodal Cohort Study to Understand Risk for Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders

The PMADS Project tracks neurobiological and clinical changes in high-risk individuals across the perinatal period to identify biomarkers linking brain plasticity to PMADs risk.

Brain charts for neuroanatomical sex differences across the human lifespan

The paper models age-varying sex differences in brain structure using MRI data from 100,000 individuals, showing consistent sex biases that increase with age and are influenced by neuropsychiatric disorders.

Early menopause is associated with reduced global brain activity

This study finds that early menopause is associated with reduced global brain activity and weaker coupling to CSF flow, linked to memory decline and increased dementia risk.

Highly replicable multisite patterns of adolescent white matter maturation

The paper presents a curated dataset of processed diffusion MRI data from the ABCD Study, showing that specific diffusion metrics are sensitive to adolescent white matter development and robust to image quality variation.

Idiosyncrasy and generalizability of contraceptive- and hormone-related functional connectomes across the menstrual cycle

The paper examines how contraceptive and hormone-related functional brain networks vary across the menstrual cycle using fMRI and hormone data from two longitudinal datasets, finding individual-specific and generalizable patterns influenced by hormonal contraceptives.

Neuroanatomical changes observed over the course of a human pregnancy

This study maps neuroanatomical changes in a human brain from preconception to two years postpartum, revealing decreases in gray matter and increases in white matter integrity.

Circadian rhythms tied to changes in brain morphology in a densely-sampled male

The paper examines diurnal changes in steroid hormones and brain morphology in a human male using repeated MRI and serological assessments.

Exploring sex-specific neuroendocrine influences on the sensorimotor-association axis in single individuals

This study examines daily variability along the sensorimotor-association axis in two individuals, finding sex-specific neuroendocrine influences on functional brain organization.

Diurnal fluctuations in steroid hormones tied to variation in intrinsic functional connectivity in a densely sampled male

The paper examines diurnal hormone fluctuations and their link to brain functional connectivity in a man, finding positive associations between testosterone, cortisol, and estradiol with whole-brain coherence.

High-amplitude network co-fluctuations linked to variation in hormone concentrations over menstrual cycle

The paper examines how hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle affect brain network states using edge time series analysis in a single individual.

Dynamic cerebellar network organization across the human menstrual cycle

This study examines how sex steroid hormones affect cerebellar network dynamics across the menstrual cycle using resting-state functional connectivity.

Dynamic community detection reveals transient reorganization of functional brain networks across a female menstrual cycle

The paper uses dynamic community detection to analyze brain imaging data from a female over her menstrual cycle, revealing transient reorganization of functional brain networks during ovulation.

Progesterone shapes medial temporal lobe volume across the human menstrual cycle

This study investigates how progesterone fluctuations affect medial temporal lobe volume in humans across the menstrual cycle and finds that progesterone dynamically shapes this volume, with chronic suppression altering these effects.

Functional reorganization of brain networks across the human menstrual cycle

This study shows how sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone influence brain network dynamics across the menstrual cycle, with estrogen promoting network coherence and progesterone reducing it, particularly in hormone-sensitive hubs.
